I ran Kevin's test on 8.3.1 on windows and it ran fine.

create temp table tmp as select st_makepoint(random(), random()) as
the_geom from generate_series(1, 10000);
create index tmp_geom_idx on tmp using gist (the_geom);
analyze tmp;
select count(*) from tmp;

count = 10000


But note I ran Paul's test on 8.3.5 install and got mixed results.  I
could make it happen only
once and couldn't get it to happen again.  I haven't tested the above on
the 8.3.5 install
to see if it consistently breaks. So needless to say it seems more than
8.3.5 may be needed to trigger this condition.

thanks,
