I am having a problem with the zillions of:

pq_flush: send() failed: Broken pipe
FATAL: pq_endmessage failed: errno=32

messages being generated.

What causes this?
How can it be prevented?

Clients disconnecting prematurely, perhaps?

Is there any way to prevent this? It seems if I have one client
disconnecting prematurely it can bring the whole system to its knees.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is this also the same for 7.1?

thanks, kurt miller

To its knees? The "broken pipe" messages themselves are completely
harmless. If you're seeing operational difficulties other than the
appearance of those log messages, then you need to be more specific
about your problem.
