Обсуждение: sudden program termination: no warning, error, or crash

Hi everyone,

I've had this problem maybe three times in the past few months and
didn't think much of it, but since it happened again yesterday I
thought I'd report it.  Unfortunately I can't remember what I was
doing at the time, I think just interacting with the main window
somehow, like clicking on a tree node, possibly.  Whatever it was, it
was a routine action and I was in the middle of just using the program
normally, when all of the sudden, the pgAdmin window disappears
completely, along with its taskbar entry, and is no longer running at
all.  In the Task Manager it is not listed.  Just instantaneously no
longer running with no other indication that anything went wrong.

This is under Windows Server 2003 Standard SP2.

It's kind of funny, this doesn't happen to any of the other programs I
run alongside it, and the only other time I had this problem was under
Windows 98 and 2000 running Descent FreeSpace back in the day, it
would do the exact same thing.  Their tech support was never able to
resolve it.  Odd that it would happen on a server OS though.  Has
anyone else experienced this?  I tried searching Google and Windows
Annoyances but sometimes my brain doesn't gravitate towards the same
terminology other people might use to describe the same problem, so I
found nothing.

Thanks,
Kev

It is hard to comment on that at all if you don't remember what you
did to trigger the crash. Even harder if you don't mention your
version of pgadmin. (!)
A couple bugs causing crashes like that have been fixed in the past. A
few more for the upcoming release 1.8.4. An upgrade might help.

As I said: upcoming release. (1.8.3 was skipped because of a bug.)
Dave is going to announce it soon if no problems are found. I am testing 
right now.
Yes, it should be a good release. Download it to be one of the first to 
have it - and test it. :)

Thanks for the feedback! Test-results like that are always welcome 
on-list, too. :)

I thought that odd-numbered versions were development versions, while 
the even-numbered ones were releases....or did I miss-hear at some 
point? :-)
