Commit ffae5cc5a6 added this hint in 2006,
but it's now obsolete and doesn't reflect what users should really check
in this situation. We were not able to agree on a new hint, so just delete
the existing one and update the comments to mention one possibility that
is known to cause problems of this kind: something other than PostgreSQL
is modifying files in the PostgreSQL data directory.
