Works for me:

regression=# VACUUM VERBOSE ANALYSE nla;
INFO: --Relation public.nla--
INFO: Pages 3: Changed 0, Empty 0; Tup 323: Vac 0, Keep 0, UnUsed 0.
Total CPU 0.00s/0.00u sec elapsed 0.00 sec.
INFO: Analyzing public.nla
VACUUM
regression=# select count (*) from nla where note_url LIKE
'sync:///FUNCTREE%' ;
count
-------
121
(1 row)

regression=# SELECT version();
version
----------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.3.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.7.2.1
(1 row)

I did the VACUUM - SELECT cycle almost 20 times on my develpment
system and then several times on a second machine, all without any
problem:
version
-------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.3 on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.95.2

Are you able to reproduce the problem on any other computer?
