Could you give more details, please? For example, I'd like to see representative data, or at least the table definitions involved. Do you have any idea what index is involved with the _bt_compare() calls above? I'm curious as to what its definition is. You might also consider using my B-Tree verification tool on a preserved data directory: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/cam3swzrk2yxkegj94_2wks_vbemjehc1ye23ecss01wrakz...@mail.gmail.com I'm inclined to think that this is a livelock, and so the problem isn't evident from the structure of the B-Tree, but it can't hurt to check. The tool is bleeding edge, so don't use it in production.
