Description:        Major bug in pgSQL

Details: 

Hi,

apparently we have found a critical bug in pgSQL. At the present moment we 
can not reproduce it, but here is the description: 

Foreword: we have a very high loaded pgSQL-based application with thousands 
of simultaneous users and overall 20 high performance server. Another 
nice-to-know thing to mention - we have very large transaction blocks, with 
some hunderds of SQL statements in each block. 

Problem: in some cases we experience the following problem - we have found 
in the database some _absolutely_ identical rows, despite the fact, that we 
have defined some unique (!) indexes on some of the fields and even primary 
(!) keys, we can see, that the rows are _exactly_ the same. In some cases we 
have seen up to 7 absolutely identical rows, with the same primary keys and 
the same unique indexed fields. 

This problem is in our eyes absolutely critical. We are even considering 
right now the change to another DBMS :(, even though we were in the past 
always very satisfied with pgSQL...  

We are looking forward to hear, if there are any known solutions for this 
kind of problem. Thank you very much!
