ERROR: cannot find attribute 1 of relation pg_temp.13465.1

Greetings.

I'm running into a recurring error on my system that has been running fine
for quite a while. I dumped, dropped, created, rebuild and reloaded the
database (all 2+ gigs) yesterday in the hopes of correcting whatever might
be the problem.

[PostgreSQL 6.5.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc egcs-2.91.66]

The following lines show up in my /var/log/messages...

Etc etc. It goes off into an infinite recursion and then a script I have
running detects that and shuts down and restarts postgres. Then the
scripts that run restart themselves and everything's fine for a few more
minutes and then we're back where we started from.

I was waiting to upgrade to 7.0.2 for awhile to let it shake out before
putting it on a production system.

Thanks in advance for the consideration...
