Given the mention of a drive glitch, I'm mentally comparing it to our
present theory about Joe Conway's recent troubles. That is, I wonder
if he had a mistakenly-reinitialized pg_control.
Harry, are you using a Postgres start script that will automatically
run initdb if it doesn't see a valid data directory at $PGDATA?
