Separate thread to draw attention.

Unfortunately, I introduced new bug in GiST while fixing possible duplication of
tuples during GiST's scan. Bug is a marking as dead wrong tuples in index and,
as result, index could return less number results than it should be. Fixes are
already committed for all affected branch.

We already have 2 bug reports:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2008-10/msg00845.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-10/msg00081.php

May be, it's needed to release new minor versions?
