vacuum analyze: Tuple is too big (corrupts DB?) - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hello,

when I vacuum analyze my db (6.5.3 on Linux) I cannot access
some data afterwards because the vacuum terminates with

ERROR:  Tuple is too big: size 8596

I did pg_dump -o and read in back again, still the same error.

Eg. accessing data after vacuum results in

SELECT envpart_map.*,
       envpart_map.oid AS recioid,
       member.*,
       member.oid AS memoid
       WHERE envpart_map.member=member.oid
       AND envpart_map.role > 0
       AND envpart_map.envelope IN (1072343,1073358,1074472,1073722,14235
82)': pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.


Where can I get on from here?
