We are running with postgres sql 7.3.2. We were trying to create an index on a big table. The create index command ran for nearly 5 hours at which point we decided to interrupt it. Since this was interrupted, any operations attempted on the table on which the index was being created gives following error in pgsql log:
upgrade to whatever is the newest 7.3.X version now first, and also - 7.3 is an ancient history - in terms of age, so you might wanna look at upgrading to 8.3 or newer soon.

Any idea what this means and what we need to do to resolve access to this table again? We can see the next oid number increases over time. Access to all other tables in the database is fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
