I've never tried building PDF from PostgreSQL DocBook source. However, 
in other DocBook documents, I've found that if there is an embedded 
image that is too large to fit on a single page, various PDF renderers 
will paginate the image onto the next page, discover it is too large to 
fit on the next page, generate a page break, and the process continues 
ad infinitum.

Maybe a recent large image was added to the docs?

FWIW,
