that isn't likely a bug in postgres.   typically you get this error when
one of your database files has been corrupted.

but you really haven't given us much info to go on.

postgres 8.0.2 is rather old, dating back to 2005, and while 8.0 was
updated to 8.0.26 before being discontinued, IIRC, there was a fatal
issue with 8.0 on MS Windows which was considered unrepairable, so all
Windows support for 8.0 was dropped some time ago.   Current versions
are 8.4.7 and 9.0.3.
