There have been a number of index-corruption bugs fixed since 8.1.4 ...

In particular, if it's possible that any of these clients abort before
committing these insertions, the vacuum race condition bug fixed in
8.1.10 is a pretty likely candidate for your problem.

I changed second statement to

INSERT INTO session ('MYCOMPNAME',ipaddress,logintime,loggeduser)
SELECT 'MYCOMPNAME', inet_client_addr()::CHAR(14),current_timestamp::CHAR(28),CURRENT_USER WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM session WHERE workplace='MYCOMPNAME')

where MYCOMPNAME is logging-in computer name.

Will this fix the isse or is it better to wait 100 ms  and re-try insert?

Andrus.
