Hello

you have some data files broken.

try to use http://svana.org/kleptog/pgsql/pgfsck.html - but DO
DATABASE CLUSTER FILES BACKUP BEFORE. pgfsck doesn't support 8.3, but
it can help you to search currupted rows. Then you have remove these
rows, thats all. Later check your hardware - probably your server has
problems with memory or controller.

regards
Pavel Stehule
