I have a database that was upgraded from 9.4.1 to 9.4.2 (no pg_upgrade, we just dropped new binaries in place) but it wouldn't start up. I found this in the logs:

I poked around in pg_multixact/offsets and there are lots of other files in there, just not 0000.
I tried launching postgres in standalone mode to try some debugging but it yields the same error.
AFAICT, there's nothing wrong with hardware, it's a VM, and it's been working okay. About a week ago we upgraded it from 9.3.5 to 9.4.1 via pg_upgrade --link, which worked amazingly well.
I found [this report from a couple days ago](https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45071) from someone else that looks like the same problem.
I put this box's [postgresql.conf up on a gist](https://gist.github.com/skehlet/3589b0d83f2cafe19624).
What can I try next? Thanks!
