Tom,

I haven't used the ltree module ... I'll take a look at our DB and see. It's possible that this was an index problem as
therewas a bulk update with indexes in tact, so there would have been a lot of index shuffling, and the db was not shut
downsince that update. 

Thanks,

Greg

This is most likely caused by trying to follow a bogus item pointer in
an index.  If the problem went away after a restart, the bogus value
could not have been on disk but must have been in a bad in-memory copy
of an index page.  Which suggests a hardware glitch ... although if you
are using contrib/ltree, I recall seeing several bug fixes go by
recently that were described as fixing potential ltree-index corruption
issues.

            regards, tom lane
