Hmm.  I wondered whether rubyrep might be triggering this somehow;
I don't know anything about that software.  I went so far as to download
rubyrep and look at the Postgres-specific source code yesterday.  It
doesn't look like it's doing anything strange, but I could easily have
missed something.

One thing you could try doing is to turn on query logging (set
log_statement = all) and look to see if rubyrep, or some other part of
your system, is indeed issuing repeated CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
commands.
