I just tried tried to run t.sql five times with /var/lib/postgres as a
mountpoint for a 5400 rpm disk, and I still haven't been able to
replicate it.

If you can point out how to query pgsql_tmp (I'm using a completely
default postgres install), that would be helpful, but I don't think it
would be going anywhere else.

Still trying....
