The vacuum was issued from a psql prompt. The table being vacuumed has got 3,000,000 (million) records. I filled it up, then deleted all entries with a DELETE <table>, then filled it up again. When finished, I ran VACUUM FULL VERBOSE ANALYZE <table>. Unfortunately I did not save the terminal output. I tried to reproduce this PANIC but have not succeeded thus far :-(. The run that went wrong had run for about two hours before I stopped it.
