I know you can't do much with this information, but maybe you can help me acquire the information that is needed. This started in 8.4 and trying to figure it out Fedora 12, Postgres 8.4.4 with slony. Although I don't see any panics or errors other then these Warnings, but I did see a dead lock the other day and so I need to start diving into this and try to figure out what is going on.
