+                  Postgres versions prior to 8.2 have a non-optimal solution
+                  for locking rows in certain situations. This may cause two
+                  seemingly independent transactions to lock if they just 
+                  reference a common database row. This may happen, for example, 
+                  when importing raw data that have references to the same 
+                  reporters. The problem has been solved in Postgres 8.2.
