OK, I see that normally you should get that info out of the postgresql
log. The problem with this application is, that often it happens to try
an insert on already existing primary keys, which makes you overlook
the problem is real. Maybe something can be improved here, but I don't
know what would be the best way. Maybe a big log line like
YOUR DATABASE xxx SEEMS TO BE DAMAGED - PLEASE CHECK
such a line would jump into the eyes even on a big log, and it makes you
nervous enough to really check things.
