cannot create table error!

At some point I've created a table named 'XXXXXX'.

Then for some reason when I drop it and try to re-create it I get the message:

Error:cannot create table 'XXXXXX'.

When I try to drop it I'm told that it does not exist.

I saw another message from someone experiencing the same thing.

Unfortunately, there was no follow up on thread.

I'm assuming that an internal table is corrupted.

Any ideas?

TIA, -km

Which version of Postgres?

Is there a file XXXXXX in the database directory? If so,
remove it (er - move it to somewhere else in case you might
want to have it again) and try again to create the table.

Somehow, the DROP might not have removed the old table file.
