It's not really surprising considering you probably kept the
default_statistics_target to 10 (it's the default in 8.3).

Consider raising it to 100 in your postgresql.conf (100 is the default
for newer versions), then reload, and run a new ANALYZE.

You might need to set it higher on specific columns if you have a lot
of data and your data distribution is weird.

And, btw, please upgrade to the latest 8.3.x.

HTH
