Okay, but it looks like you will also need to adjust pg_clog to cover
that transaction ID range. (I had thought pg_resetxlog would handle
this for you, but it looks like not.)

You need to append zeroes (8K at a time) to
/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/000E until it's longer than 73728 bytes.
I'd use something like
dd bs=8k count=1 </dev/zero >>/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/000E
assuming that your system has /dev/zero.
