rightsibling 169 of block 168 is not next child of 249 in index "sl_seqlog_idx"
I've seen this problem (and others) in a high-load environment. Not
Slony related though.
I wrote a small tool to check btree index files for consistency problems
such as this one, by parsing pg_filedump output. I've seen strange
things such as index pointers pointing to pages that shouldn't have been
pointed to; mismatching sibling pointers; and others.
Do you have a copy of the broken index file?
