Yes, it does restart, that is not the problem (did I explain that properly?).

ERROR: Cannot insert a duplicate key into unique index pg_class_oid_index
-------------------------------------- start log --------------------------------------
Which makes me pause . . . are OIDs unique per database or per PostgreSQL installation? I
think per database. Therefore if databases are mangled togeher, then things would be
pretty messed up, oid-wise. Maybe I did something really stupid on importing mpi into
this new installation, but I don't think so. Basically what I did was
>createdb mpi
and then
>psql -e mpi < whatevernameIassignedtothefilewhichIdumpedtheorignaldatabaseinto
I managed to rescue my data via COPY but if this is a 7.1-related error and not
Frank-confusedness, then it looks like an evil issue indeed.
