How many database-wide vacuums did you run during these 9 months? I'm

"database wide" vacuums have been very very seldom; I fear the only one was
at initial db bulk load. at the moment I am on a way to upgrade to 8.1, with
autovacuum enabled ... so in the long run THAT possible reason should
vanish.
And I understand correctly that your suspicion is: file gets killed because
of transaction id wraparound in system table?
I will scan teh archives (as soon as postgresql.org provices access to them
again :)
