Thanks Peter, that did the trick.

Any chance of adding the following to the FAQ

4.24) What is the meaning of 'my bits moved right off the end of the world'

This message may appear in the backend log and may be due to a possibly 
corrupt index. 

It may be preceded (by several minutes) with a notice to the client such as 

NOTICE:  Index my_idx: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (78933) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP
(78931)

The message may occur when running a 'vacuum analyze' with the backend
terminating abnormally.

[Other explanations...]

The postmaster must be started without the '-S' option for this
notice to appear.
