Unreasonable size of table pg 8.2.5

Hello list,

I have a table with 135 rows and it still takes up about 360MB with
only small columns. Details below.

db=# vacuum full tbl_archive;
VACUUM
db=# select * from
pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('tbl_archive'));
  pg_size_pretty
----------------
  360 MB
(1 row)

db=# select * from pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('tbl_archive'));
  pg_size_pretty
----------------
  16 kB
(1 row)


Looks like we have a very bloated index.
After reindex
db=# select * from
pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('tbl_archive'));
  pg_size_pretty
----------------
80 kB
(1 row)

I thought that reindex should not be necessary in 8.2.5? This is not a
big tabel but what I can see is that we have many small updates.
Cheers,
Henke
