OH, that's very scary for me that triggers can vanish/be eliminated w/o
my direct action. Yes, I do now see that the triggers on my production
table have been lost. I built a test table and they appear as
expected. Is there any way I can prevent this or become aware that
something had done this to my production database?
If you are still running 7.1 you obviously do not know the meaning of
the word "fear" ;-) --- it not only has lots of since-fixed bugs, but
at that time we hadn't yet solved the transaction ID wraparound problem,
which means your DB is guaranteed to self-destruct once you reach the
4-billion-transaction mark.
I'd recommend an upgrade to 7.4.5 at your earliest convenience.

I have kept up-to-date our Red Hat kernels as you can probably see from the Linux 2.4.9-e.49smp kernel. Am I required to maintain my own version of Postgres alongside and compiled into Red Hat's latest and greatest kernel? If that's true, WHEW! I wonder what version of Postgres is installed in Red Hat's latest kernel of AS 3.0?
