Separate thread to draw attention.

Unfortunately, I introduced new bug in GiST while fixing possible duplication of 
tuples during GiST's scan. Bug is a marking as dead wrong tuples in index and, 
as result, index could return less number results than it should be. Fixes are 
already committed for all affected branch.

We already have 2 bug reports:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2008-10/msg00845.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-10/msg00081.php

May be, it's needed to release new minor versions?
