And wasn't Alfred hollering yesterday about sudden instability?
See the Re: [COMMITTERS] pgsql/src/include (config.h.in) thread
over in committers.
My initial guess is that he's seeing the VACUUM patch tickling a
syscache-entry-drop problem --- if so, it shouldn't be a problem in 7.1
--- but I have no evidence for that guess yet. I'm sure not confident
enough of the guess to not be afraid of dropping the patch into 7.1.
