Do you happen to run more than one instance of PostgreSQL on that
machine, each in its own jail? If so, are you aware that jails don't
have separate SysV shared resources (memory regions etc.), at least not
in FreeBSD's original 4.x implementation? In this scenario your problem
might be caused by clashing PostgreSQL instances, and you're likely to
be in for more serious problems than just time stamp corruption.
Just an educated guess, of course.
