After your tip, I rechecked the old logs. There, I had
"Tabelle enthält duplizierte Werte"
(table contains duplicate values)
but now the log message was
"duplizierter Schlüssel verletzt Unique-Constraint »bayes_token_pkey«"
(duplicate key violates unique constraint)

The latter message is just an INFO, though its logged as ERROR. It 
happens when you try to INSERT a primary key that's already there, but 
this got only logged once:
ZUSAMMENHANG:  SQL-Anweisung »INSERT INTO bayes_token (id, token, 
spam_count, ham_count, atime) VALUES ( $1 ,  $2 ,  $3 ,  $4 ,  $5 )«
        PL/pgSQL function "put_tokens" line 18 at SQL statement
All other times just the violation was logged.

I double checked with a dump and reload to a fresh db - there is no 
spoon [The Matrix], and also no duplicate values exist.

The error I got december 2006 with the duplicate values was really a 
situation where values seem to have been inserted during a reload, but 
before the index was there. I was just nervous and mixed the two 
different warnings.

But I'd like to suggest changing the ERROR to WARNING for "duplicate key 
violates unique constraint", as it's not serious - but it sounds like a 
big problem.

Efharisto, Achilleas!
