postgresql crushed with XLogWrite error - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hello dear list!
I am using postgresql 7.3.3 .Last night the errors occured.
Since then I can't start the postgresql !We are recovering from the type
by now ,but what happened?Is that a known bug?What to do next time?
The last change I made was that:
syslog=1
log_min_error_statement
log_timestamp = true
stats_reset_on_server_start = false
I can't think why those changes could crush the postgres!

Here is the log:

And since that, every time I am trying to start the db I get this:
