Check your list of databases and their owner IDs (select datname,datdba
from pg_databases). Then check your pg_users table, looking for those owner
ids (as usesysid). Maybe you have a duplicate user ID in your user table
(pg_user/pg_shadow) which owns a database. This query might help:
select datname,datdba,usename from pg_database,pg_user
where datdba=usesysid;
For each database name, there must be exactly one usename.
