Data corruption, likely ... I do recall that we fixed a couple of bugs recently that could result in silly results in memory-space-needed calculations, but AFAIR they were in maintenance commands like VACUUM FULL, and couldn't be triggered by a plain INSERT. Still, it wouldn't hurt to try an update to 8.2.6 (or 8.2.7, fresh off the presses). regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
