Hi

After an upgrade to 8.4.12 from 8.4.10 we vacuum/analyzed the db.
Postgres is running in standalone mode at this point.

vacuumdb --echo --analyze --all --verbose -U sysdba

I see the warning generated in systable_beginscan_ordered as a
warning, and then it proceeds to do the work anyway.

It appears as if this is benign. Is that the case?

Thanks
