Description:

We ran into this error on 9.4.5 this morning:

          ), ' '),'')),'A') where meetings.id =
287295",,,"/usr/local/rbenv/versions/2.2.3/bin/rake"

As far as we can tell, there was no filesystem corruption.

Fortunately, we were able to dump the table and restore it, but thought we
would report upstream since this is the first corruption I've seen on 9.4.
Unfortunately, that means there's probably no useful forensics we can do at
this point.

Probably not much we can do with this amount of info ... but I wonder if
you identified which relation that was (table? index?)

It was actually a toast table.=
