Thanks for your response.
We currently are using 6.3. I just looked at the www.postgresql.org and
noticed that under News Flash they have announced the 6.3.2. When I
checked the changes in 6.3.2, I did not notice any fixes with respect to
the Index problem. Is this not Documented? Has it fixed your problem?

I'm not sure if it has just gone away or not, but I haven't seen in since
upgrading to v6.3.2 ...

As for not being documented, possibly not, as it may have been a
'secondary' bug of another bug that was fixed (ie. memory corruption)
