Now THAT's REALLY fascinating.  We upgraded from 6.5 to 7.1 about 4-5
months ago , and only got this problem after that. I leave "ANALYZE" out of
VACUUM due to the large volume of (I though needless) output that gets
piped to my cron_log.

Does anyone have a feal for how "necessary" VACUUM ANALYZE is over "VACUUM"
??

Some else mentioned ANALYZE (or is it ANALYSE?).  Anyway,
I seem to remember reading someplace that with newer versions
of PostgreSQL, when you used to VACUUM on a regular basis,
you were supposed to change over to VACUUM ANALYSE (ANALYZE?)
some (all?) of the time.  My memory is fuzzy about this,
so perhaps the docs will have something on this.
