Bug 115534

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021105

Description of problem:
Under heave network loads, postgres access over ssl
intermittently shows one of
the
following error messages:

LOG:  pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection
LOG:  SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected
LOG:  SSL error: decryption failed or bad record mac

, resulting in loss of the connection. After some googling around I came
across
a recent
patch by one of the postgres developers, which apparently solves this. I
would
appreciate
if this patch were to be included in the upgrades; the current version
(7.3.4-9)
does not.

Incidentally, the logging of the error messages as shown above
required some small changes to the postgresql init script, which I'd be
very
happy to
share.  Regards,

Philip Lijnzaad
