Thanks.
The PG version information is PostgreSQL 15.4 (Debian 15.4-2.pgdg120+1)
on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Debian 12.2.0-14) 12.2.0, 64-bit.
The database was upgraded from version 13 to 15 in March this year.
This problem has only just now started occurring.
Not aware of any catastrophic failures. Though have had instances of
queries segfaulting.
Regards
Matt
