Starting with 7.1, files and directories are named using their OID
rather than name. This allows for example for rolling back a DROP TABLE
statement and other "cool stuff Oracle doesn't have" :-)
Anyway seems pretty difficult to have some file named 0000000000000000
in your database directories; that kind of thing is restricted to
pg_xlog.

It will happen as soon as you upgrade. It's a feature, not a bug. You
can use contrib/oid2name for looking up the names.
