Here's more detail about what we're doing:
Done once
----------
create the database
create schemas
create "base" tables
create functions
Done in a loop
--------------
for year in X to Y
{ create ~60 tables, inherited from the "base" tables for each table (up to 6 at a time in parallel) { load data via
COPY create index }
}
I was just informed that the most recent attempt failed again, this time
with no more than 1 table loaded at a time.

Will do.
BTW, I also tried reindexing one of the corrupt databases and got this:
backend> reindex database cyspec;
2004-08-19 11:13:37 NOTICE: table "pg_class" was reindexed
2004-08-19 11:13:38 ERROR: invalid page header in block 6 of relation
"pg_attribute"
