Using Postgresql's source files I compiled postgresql 7.4.1 on a
dedicated machine with a customized Redhat 7.2 system.
Postgresql often stops after a time (unknown, changing).
Below is the log file just after Postgresql database server is started
manually. Log can't record the cause of this problem.

system.

You haven't given any information that would allow anyone to help :-(

We need to see the log entries from before the crash, not after.
