I suppose Neil is thinking of this:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-10/msg00464.php

which is in fact fixed as of 7.3.8 --- but if you'd updated a pre-7.3.8
installation to 7.3.10 then damage from a previous triggering of the bug
could possibly still be lurking.

Or you could have been bit by something else that happens to have a
similar-looking symptom.  There's not enough info here to say.
