I don't think it's PostgreSQL. I would suggest unmounting the volume and
running fsck (or the equivalent for your environment.) 

If it's a volumne you can't unmount while the system is running, but you are
running Linux, you could boot a LiveCD distribution of some sort (Gentoo,
Knoppix, and others) and fsck the partition from there.
