Ugh. Yup, your pg_statistic table is corrupted all right.
What you may have to do is pg_dump that database, destroydb/createdb,
and reload.
I have a possible shortcut for you, but I *strongly* suggest that you
pg_dump first in case it doesn't work! After making your backup dump,
stop the postmaster and truncate the broken database's pg_statistic
file to zero length:cp /dev/null .../data/base/yourdb/pg_statistic
Then restart the postmaster and see if you can vacuum analyze the
broken database. If so, you are good to go; if not, it's time to
reload that database.
