 The principal server still running PostgreSQL 7.1.2, this one have the problem with the VACUUM command, but I've
installedPostgreSQL 7.1.3 on another computer and on this one I have the problem, with the same tables, when I try to
restorethem with the data of the principal server. This problem only appears with the "COPY xxx FROM stdin;" command. 

To sum up, I've problems with large tables on differents computers running differents versions of PostgreSQL RDBM.

On another hand, I'll try to make a little program to split the data bloks into small blocks, p.e. insert two lines
witha "\." and  "COPY xxx FROM stdin;" every 100.000 records. 


regards, Miguel Juan
