Hi Everyone.
 
Last week our server's system disk broke causing the server to die a hard death.  We run Postgres on another disk and the binaries and associated cluster seemed to have survived.  However when I try to connect (psql, dumpdb, dumpall) to any of the databases I get the following error:
 
        FATAL 1:  IndexSupportInitialize: bogus pg_index tuple
 
We are running RH 7.3, Postgres 7.2.1 (We were in the process of upgrading our databases - this was the last).  A quick search of the archives doesn't uncover much in regard to this problem.  Any ideas our there?  Unfortunately we don't have a usable backup for the database in question so any assistance with this would be great.
 
Thanks
