OK, I have an 8.0.almost 5 installation which did not have any such problems yet. The 8.0.~3 instance will soon be migrated to 8.1.latest, so I will skip the 8.0.5 step, even if it only means install/restart/no dump - after all I had a single crash in a few months of operation. I take it granted that the crash situation on table drop is fixed. I wonder if temporary tables are still added to the autovacuum list in 8.1 or not ? Thanks, Csaba.
