I agree about the fact that corruption is very rare but sometimes I got
a "duplicate primary key" and the only solution was dump the DB,
edit the dump and restore the DB.
If the dump is uge ( like 400 MB ) is a lot of down time :-(
The problem disappeared after removing the reindex on that table
scheduled each morning.
