Two different errors here.  I've not seen either of them before ...

For the first one, the code is as follows:

                $w = syswrite $sock, $buffer, $r - $n, $n;

Can you tell us what the values of $r and $n are at this point?  (Just
printing them on STDERR should make them appear in the error log
file).

The second one may be related to the fact that the DBeg1 personality
was designed for PostgreSQL 6.something, which is absolutely ancient.
Modern versions of PostgreSQL just use BYTEA objects as unlimited
length strings, instead of blobs.  Unfortunately changing DBeg1 to use
BYTEA is non-trivial.  It would in fact be better just to start from
scratch.

You need to do "SITE SHOW filename" ...

Hmmm, server crashed.  The error message printed is the same as above
however, so at least it's the same problem ...
