Ok, this ended up taking a bit longer to get to due to the fact that
we've been building indexes on our user tables off and on for the last
few days.   But, I'm back on it now.  Here is my general plan of
action:  I'm going to do a schema dump of the pg_catalog schema from a
fresh, clean 8.2 install and, tomorrow night after I do the same against
the db we've been having issues with, diff the two to see if there are
any glaring discrepancies.  While running the dump from the live db I
will have statement logging on for the dump, are there any queries or
query lengths that I should pay particular attention to?
