under 9.0, or did you use pg_upgrade on a pre-existing database that had
been around for awhile? It strikes me that the recently identified bug
in pg_upgrade about not fixing the datfrozenxid of template0 might
possibly explain this. You'd need to have upgraded an installation that
was at least a couple billion transactions old to hit that bug.
It was freshly initdb'd with beta1 binaries, the contents were loded from a pg_dump file. The number of transactions is very small, we're talking about thousands (not billions). This database is the master of a hot standby installation, if that matters.
