When there's any sort of, thankfully rare, corruption bug the symptom
which people first notice is often duplicate primary keys. So your
question is really whether 9.0.4 is free of any (known) corruption
bugs.

For what it's worth the current release for the 9.0 major version is
9.0 is 9.0.15. There are over 2 1/2 years of bug fixes between 9.0.4
and 9.0.15 including some corruption bugs which could possibly
introduce duplicate rows. Also including one major security fix for
CVE-2013-1899.
