PostgreSQL 8.1 has been unsupported for quite a long time. 8.1.18 was 
released in 2009, 8.1.23 was the last update of 8.1 in late 2010.

the oldest 'supported' postgres is 9.2, and thats at EOL.

prior to that error, something else catastrophic must have happened to 
the system, that error is more of a side effect. recovering a database 
server that far gone which is running such an obsolete version will 
likely be an expensive proposition. before doing anything, you should 
make a complete backup of the $PGDATA directory (and other tablespace 
directories, if you use any).
