Wow, this is an old thread, too. ^_^ Actually, I copied the vacuumdb
script and changed the parameters/code to be a reindex script. I
submitted it five times in various forms until it did basically
everything everyone was requesting. I think I was hinting around that
it should be added to the official codebase because it's a necessary
utility.

Why? Because that made my problem go away. The problem was that vacuum
doesn't reindex, so indexes just kept growing. Either way, there's no
longer a problem. ^_^

Take care.
