ERROR: checkpoint request failed
When I try and create a new database I get the following error:
ERROR: checkpoint request failed
HINT: Consult the server log for details.
but the error log (/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.1-main.log) just
repeats the same error message.
This is Postgres 8.1, from Debian Unstable debs. There are other
databases on the same server, I somehow managed to create them ( a few
months ago)

What appears *before* that in the log? There should be some error
message coming out of the bgwriter.
