That worked! Thanks Alvaro (and Tom). I will definitely take a look at migrating
this machine to a newer release. The problem is probably my VACUUM
procedure failing somewhere, but I would never have guessed that one my own.

You probably already know this, but this mailing list is such a huge community
asset due to the excellent answers you all provide.

Thanks again,
