I've got a server running PostgreSQL-7.2.3 on RHAS-2.1.  The version
of Postgresql is *not* my choice, I would have gone with something
much more current, but i digress.

Running 'vacuumdb -a -z -v -f' has started failing:

Anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this?  This DB serves a
web based PHP application, and right now there isn't any end user
noticable problems, and i'd like to keep it that way :)

thanks in advance!
