Strange -- autovacuum should have started an automatic database-wide
vacuum on that database, even if disabled.
We only added that in 8.2, no? 8.1 autovacuum would have forced the
vacuum to occur, but only if it was enabled in postgresql.conf.
And in 8.2 it's only a per table vacuum that is required. Is that
correct too?
