Hmmm. This doesn't throw any more light on the problem. There isn't
necessarily a direct connection between the 'select in packet_receive' error
and the termination of the server. It is an indicator that a tcp packet failed
to come across the wire correctly. As such the error raised should either then
be handled - either the packet is resent correctly or failing that, an error
sent to the client and the current transaction rolled back. At least that is
the theory.

I would agree with Claudio's suggestions - Check the database for corruption
and check the network.

Beyond that, I can't be of more help without spending time on more research.
