VACUUM failing ??!!

From
"Sally Sally"
Date:
After running for more than 24 hrs (I have a large db), vacuum failed with
this message:
ERROR:  failed to re-find parent key in "pg_type_typname_nsp_index"
Has anybody encountered this before?
Thanks much
Sally

AFAIR, you have to REINDEX pg_type to get rid of this error.

I wonder if this is a variant of the concurrent-page-split
problem Joe Conway found.  That's fixed in 7.4.5 and later.
Was this a plain vacuum, or vacuum full?
