And are there any errors in the PostgreSQL logs? Does this table contain
duplicates?

What bug? Do you have a number or mailing-list reference?

I'm not sure it's clear what problem we're talking about here.
However, you are missing *16* updates for PostgreSQL (8.1.18) and four
for slony (1.1.9).
First step - get a fresh cup of tea or coffee, read through the release
notes between 8.1.2 and 8.1.18 and once you are happy upgrade. Do the
same for slony.
Then, if the slony sl_log table(s) have errors, I'd probably restart the
whole replication from scratch. I'd never be happy that I'd found all
the problems and corrected them.
If you are starting the replication from base, it might make sense to
upgrade slony to 1.2.17 while you're doing so.
