Oh, we've been asking those questions all day long!

No packages were installed, postgresql.conf last edited on 3/29/2012.  Last
application update 4/24/2012.  There were some DDL changes, but those were
reverted and the problem persists.  To make it more interesting, today is a
slow day.

And we just saw the issue recur with pg_buffercache uninstalled. :-/
