This looks like you've stumbled across some sort of boundary-condition
bug in xlog.c. It must be a pretty low-probability situation since
we've not seen it before.
How large is the database in question --- would it be feasible to send
it to me (as a tar of the whole $PGDATA directory) for examination?
