Well - maybe an index on the table is broken? I did once run a script on
a database to insert a rather big amount of data. During reindexing the
db ran out of diskspace, but obviously it was freed after that so I
missed the really important error message. I just wondered why the
server had restarted in the meantime. A vacuum on the table in question
took forever. I'm not sure whether I just did a reindex or a dump and
restore to fix this. Just a suggestion. Good luck.
