to avoid any potential misunderstandings, i will summarize the situation:

1. the vacuum-cronjob refuses to remove dead rows since 1.jan.2008.

2. i know that no postgres-process is older than 7.jan.2008. (from "ps
aux | grep postgres", and except the postgres-system-processes)

how can this happen?
