I'm looking at some 7.3.4 vacuum output, and at first glance it does not appear that vacuum is reclaiming any dead tuple space if there is even a single open transaction, even if the open transaction does not in any way reference the table being vacuumed. Is that correct? Is the behavior different in later versions?
