You ran out of disk space.

Yes, the error message is misleading.  That's fixed in current sources.

You could work around that by making all the queries referencing the
temp table be built up as strings and EXECUTE'd, rather than just
writing them in-line in the plpgsql code.  Pretty grotty but it might
serve for now.  Eventually plpgsql needs to have a way to discard
query plans that have been obsoleted by DDL changes.

I think that I'll modify the app anyway, since I fear to hit the 
tuple max size with some postgresql versions. I think it's better
to store images outside the database, but the original app developper 
didn't seem to think the same ;-)
