To reproduce it:
Concurrently execute the following sql script serveral times:
("without oids","tablespace testsp" should be optional)

---

drop table T_ST;
drop table T_IT;
drop table T_DS;
drop table T_WR;

CREATE TABLE T_WR (
col1 int not NULL,
primary key(col1))
without oids tablespace testsp
;

CREATE TABLE T_DS (
col1 int not NULL,
col2 int not NULL,
primary key(col1, col2),
foreign key (col1) references T_WR(col1))
without oids tablespace testsp
;

CREATE TABLE T_IT (
col1 int not NULL,
primary key(col1))
without oids tablespace testsp
;

CREATE TABLE T_ST (
col1 int not null,
col2 int not null,
other_cols char (50) NULL ,
primary key(col1, col2),
foreign key(col1) references T_WR(col1),
foreign key(col2) references T_IT(col1))
without oids tablespace testsp
;

Actually I reproduced it at least 3 times on Pg8.0.1.

Ok, I will do this and try to locate the exact place.
