I know, I know... But I'm about two weeks from bringing a whole new
server on-line with the latest version of Postgres, so I don't want to
hassle with upgrading the old one. I just need to keep it limping along
for a little while longer.

So this isn't an error that would be caused by some sort of file
problem? The server got new hard drives a few months ago and files went
through a backup/restore with tar, I didn't use pg_dump/pg_restore, so
it occurred to me that something might have been scrambled. But until
this VACUUM failure, the only problem I've _ever_ had, before or after
the drive upgrade, was one occurrence of the "Buffer Leak" error which I
couldn't reproduce.
Well, I guess I just keep my fingers crossed for a couple of weeks until
I have my new server up.
Thanks!
