Hello
I have similar problem with vacuum on 8.1
I have 256M table. pgstattuple reports 128M free. I stopped vacuum
after 1hour (maintenance_work_mem = 160M). I had not more time.
Regards
Pavel Stehule

That sounds like plenty --- you only need 6 bytes per dead tuple,
so that should be enough to handle all your 15-20M dead tuples in
one scan.
How big is this index again?
