Many thanks - we actually considered that at some point and I looked for
more specific info on this particular issue and I found about the new
pg_stat_clear_snapshot() function in 8.3 as well.=20
Now that we know that this issue was fixed in 8.3 already it's even more
incentive for us to plan for an upgrade.

Presumably the errors are coming from re-use of cached plans. The only
really simple solution would be to upgrade to PG 8.3, which knows about
regenerating cached plans when needed.
