I moved the data directory to a local parition (from the NFS
mounted one it was on) and reran my application. It worked fine this time,
vaccuming tables with out errors and the above error was never seen. Looks
like pgsql is not NFS safe, or at least with Linux's implementation.
This is good news in that it is not a serious issue, but bad news
in that now I really do have to hurry up and get more local space for this
box to do anything useful with it. :)
Thanks for everyone's help. TTYL.
