major flaw in 6.5beta1??? (UPDATE/INSERT waiting)

Hi,

I'm quite shocked, I hope this is dream:

> psql cs
Welcome to the POSTGRESQL interactive sql monitor:

You are currently connected to the database: cs

cs=> select envelope from recipient where envelope=510349;
envelope
--------
88320
510349
510349
510349
510349
510349
510349
510349
510349
510349
510349
510349
(12 rows)

To my understanding the first should have been *never* selected.

I had a strange problem tonight, where the backends stopped working
saying something like this

UPDATE waiting
INSERT waiting

dead locks? how can these happen? killed some backends, and restarted
the server. Seems part of the db are corrupted now. Back to 6.4.2?
