reltuples after vacuum and analyze

Hi,

I noticed that reltuples are way off if
I vacuum the table and analyze the table.
And the data (296901) after vacuum seems
accurate while
the reltuples (1.90744e+06)
after anlayze is too wrong.

My PG version is 7.3.2 (I know it is old).

Any thought?

Thanks,

my_db=# analyze my_tab;

relfilenode, reltuples

my_db=# AND relname = 'my_tab';
