No, and yes, which is why panicking was not warranted ;-)
Martijn's advice to be using "vacuumdb -a" every so often is well given,
though.
You could also consider switching over to autovacuum, particularly as of
8.1. (I'm not sure how much I trust the contrib version that exists in
8.0, and 7.4's is definitely pretty buggy, but I believe 8.1's can be
relied on to prevent this sort of thing.)
