All of your sequences at the same time?  It's really hard to see how any
internal bug in Postgres could cause that.  They're not stored together,
and there's no operation that visits them all.  Sure you didn't have some
client application run around and issue a lot of setvals?

But having said that, 7.0.3 is verging on ancient history, and we are
not fixing bugs in it anymore.  I think you are well overdue for an
update.
