Yuck.  I'd recommend back-porting the patch to 7.2 instead; should be
easy enough:
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/src/backend/commands/async.c.diff?r1=1.91&r2=1.92

Now, if you can reproduce the problem even with that patch in place, I'm
very interested in looking at the state of the system ...
