Commit ffae5cc5a6024b4e25ec920ed5c4dfac649605f8 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.
