It's not going to answer your issue directly, but see Joe Conway's
recent report of similar failures:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-08/msg01251.php
and earlier messages in that thread.
Personally I'm wondering about kernel/filesystem bugs. Gentoo's
emphasis on bleeding-edge code is fine for dev work but I think it's
a poor choice for a production server.
