What PG version? Can you put together a self-contained test case?
(It's probably independent of the data, so you could make a script that
just processes a lot of dummy data the same way you are doing.)

There was a similar report a couple of weeks ago:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-08/msg00264.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-09/msg00021.php
but that person hasn't gotten back to us on determining exactly
what happened.
