Bug Description
I've installed bacula-fd, bacula-sd, bacula-director, and bacula-console on an ubuntu 10.04 system. Bacula working with an PostgreSQL-
At now I am not able to finish even only one backup cycle without bacula crashing. The host runs, but isn't reachable any more over the network. Trying to log in at console lets me type username and password, but after successfully logging in, I am immedeately logged out again. Running a shell on a terminal directly doesn't work either: if it is started on tty12, you may switch to tty12, but no keypress accepted – the shell is dead.
Pinging the server will timeout. The only way to recover: reset it, or, if impossible, power cycle. The system will start again bacula running, but all logs truncated, because of file-system repairs and log replay. No messages telling about why the system crashed.
While bacula runs fine doing nothing, it does run fine too, backing up only a few system, it starts crashing backing up lots of systems with a realy huge database. I assume the problem exists with the database exceeding some size, but, since the logs truncated until the last commit, I do not have any information about what part of the system ist resposible for the crashes.

Thomas this sounds pretty serious. We'll have to setup a test to try and recreate your scenario, which may take a while. Any information you can provide to help us duplicate the issues, such as config files (redacted of course) and numbers (numbers of files, disks, etc) will be helpful.
Thanks!
