I have a database that has two tables.  One of the tables gets changed
very often.  (like every 5 minutes).  The values that where in the table
are replaced with a new set of values with new unique keys.  Now, I vacuum
these tables fairly often, but the pkey files for these tables never seem
to get smaller.  They just keep growing.  What do I have to do to make the
pkey files flush there extra blocks?

PostgreSQL version 7.0.3 running under Linux.
