This is extremely strange on several levels.  Are you sure you are using
an unmodified Postgres 9.0.4 server?  In my copy of 9.0, there would
never be a file with a relfilenode number as small as 11500, not to
mention that CREATE DATABASE should certainly not be targeting a
nonempty subdirectory of $PGDATA/base to create a new database in.
