Additional info. The most recent autovacuum entries for the
pg_attribute table are:
[2005...] Performing: VACUUM ANALYZE "pg_catalog"."pg_attribute"
[2005...] table name: tati."pg_catalog"."pg_attribute"
[2005...] relid: 1249; relisshared: 0

[2005...] relid: 1249; relisshared: 0

(Both within past 1 day - dates truncated to avoid line-wrap.) The
table currently has just over 9,000 tuples and I have no reason to
believe that should have changed substantially. The thresholds and
counts seem way off - especially in the second pass.
Cheers,
