Hello Bill,

I had this problem too, I solved it by executing this two commands
that are mentioned in ~/tools/startup

/bin/su - postgres -c "/bin/rm -f ~/data/base/clx_db/temp_*"
/bin/su - postgres -c "/bin/rm -f ~/data/base/clx_db/pg_vlock"

and after that as clx_us: ~/tools/mbx_chk

After that I could run vacuum again.

I think but could not verify it, that the ~/tools/mbx_chk fixed the
problem.

Anyway try these commands.

Sorry can't help you with this one...
