Startup proc 30595 exited with status 512 - abort and FATAL 2: XLogFlush - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,
Sorry for the double posting.

I'm having a bad day. My Postgresql has this error "FATAL 2:  XLogFlush: request is not satisfied".   I tried to follow
theinstructions from a thread about looking for a core dump, but when I tried to start the postmaster, I got
"/usr/bin/postmaster:Startup proc 30595 exited with status 512 - abort". 

How do I find the corrupted record?  If that is the case.

I'm pg version is postgresql-7.1.3-2.  What are my options?

This is from the log file:
