That explains it... and yes, REINDEX did bring the index size back to
normal.

Would it make sense to mention this in docs of VACUUM FULL? Either at

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/routine-vacuuming.html

or at

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/sql-vacuum.html

Yeah, maybe. Want to suggest a wording?
