If the problem will strike again, I will do it on all (or > most, depending how fast I can make it) backends. The problem did happen again, and we were able to find a fix (I think). For some reason we had a table with over 50000 (yes, 50 thousand) indexes on it. This table was a bucardo internals table, so maybe it was something in bucardo (we are using it to migrate hundreds of tables to another machine, so maybe it has something to do with it. Anyway - after removing obsolete indexes there - the problem is gone. Best regards, depesz
