hmm I first thought it could have been
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2006-01/msg00288.php
which affects 8.1.1 but that's not the very same error as the one
created by the above bug.


ya, it doesn't seem to match, as this seems to be repeating quite
regularly.  interesting that my 'clog' files start at 06B6 and count
up. 0207 is way off the charts.

a lot of applications are hitting this database, and so far everything
seems to be running ok (i found this log msg by accident), but I am
now officially very nervous.

repeated roughly once a minute.  I've never seen this before. this is
on postgres 8.1.1 running on fedora core 4 smp.  I don't have any
contextual information yet but I'm getting ready to turn statement
logging on.

Anybody know what this is?

[x-posting to -hackers]

actually, here is some more relevant bits from the log.
Feb  6 06:31:33 mojo postgres[1088]: [1-1] :: LOG:  autovacuum:
processing database "template0"
Feb  6 06:31:33 mojo postgres[1088]: [2-1] :: ERROR:  could not access
status of transaction 51911
Feb  6 06:31:33 mojo postgres[1088]: [2-2] :: DETAIL:  could not open
