Um. Extract from the 8.0.5 CVS logs:
2005-12-08 14:19 tgl
* src/backend/: postmaster/bgwriter.c, utils/resowner/resowner.c
(REL8_0_STABLE): Fix bgwriter's failure to release buffer pins and
open files after an error. This probably explains bug #2099 and
could also account for mysterious VACUUM hangups.
8.0 branch is currently at 8.0.8 ...
