It sounds to me like you have a bad case of filesystem corruption.  I
would start by checking your hardware.

PostgreSQL 8.1 is no longer officially supported, and no further bug
fixes will be released.  Both performance and reliability of newer
releases are much improved; however, none of that will help you if you
have bad hardware.
