Both are Red Hat /CentOS 5.5, x86_64, running with identical software
versions...

I first inclined to blame LVM+storage, however I could duplicate this
issue on local disks, too. This happened recently -- restoring data on
the same machine about 3 weeks ago did not have this issue. I need to
figure out what may happened since then...

Alvaro, this may be a stupid question but: I enabled custom autovac
settings for some tables. These changes are included in the dump. May
this affect on-disk size?
