Hi, all.

I'm relatively new to PostgreSQL, but I've been quite impressed with
it so far.  This may be due to too much experience with MySQL.  :)

I'm currently getting this error on my nightly vacuum.  These two
indices (as you may have guessed already) are on columns named
interface and ewhen, on a table named error.  The error table is
constantly being updated.  (No comments about the implications of
that, please.)

NOTICE:  Index error_interface_idx: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (226766) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP' (226765)
NOTICE:  Index error_ewhen_idx: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (226766) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP' (226765)
NOTICE:  Index error_interface_idx: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (226766) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP' (226765)
NOTICE:  Index error_ewhen_idx: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (226766) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP' (226765)

Is this indicative of a serious problem?  If this were MySQL, I'd
assume I had a corrupt table, and I'd run isamchk on it.  But I don't
see a similar utility for PgSQL.

AFAIK, nothing really bad has happened to the host; it hasn't crashed
or anything, though it was rebooted ungracefully a few weeks ago.

This is on an i386 running NetBSD 1.4.1, if that makes a difference.

TIA for any help.

Chris
