This table was one of the first in the db and got added columns and
dropped, too.
The 8.4.0 was part of the distribution and they keep the version.
I'm a wee bit worried to manually upgrade since the OS release is out of
service for some time and I can't physically get to the box, yet. But
there is a new setup coming soon Then with 9.0.3 AFAIK. So there is hope.
I can't drop the table b/c there are a number of references.
Would a backup & restore of the db cure those lurking issues even with
8.4.0?
The thing is running over a year I'd say without a restore but daily
vacuum analyse.
Thanks for your reply. :)
