ERROR: infinite recursion in proc_exit

Hi all!

On a number of occasions over the past couple of weeks I have encountered
the following error during my nightly vacuum process. It repeats
infinitely until outside intervention. It seems to identify the fact that
it is stuck in an infinite recursion but unable to deal with it. The
relevant portion of the log is at the end of the message. Any
hints/suggestions are welcome.

Also, after exiting from the infinite loop I have the following errors
appearing during vacuum and vacuum analyze:

NOTICE: CreatePortal: portal <vacuum> already exists
NOTICE: Index pg_attribute_attrelid_index: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (1203) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP' (1193)
NOTICE: Index pg_attribute_relid_attnum_index: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (1203) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP' (1193)
NOTICE: Index pg_attribute_relid_attnam_index: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (1203) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP' (1193)
ERROR: cannot find attribute 1 of relation pg_temp.13894.119

Any suggestions on cleaning this up is appreciated...
