Known issue which is fixed in 8.X servers, postgreSQL sees your 600000
as int4 literal and does not grasp that the int8 index works for it.
SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = 600000::int8;
should do it.

Btw, you should update to 7.4.12, there are importand bug fixes and it
is upgradable "in place", without dumping and reloading the database.
HTH,
