Perhaps you should explain exactly what you did to get into this state.
I have a nasty feeling that you tried something like copying the
$PGDATA/base/bullprod subtree out of one database installation and into
another one.  That isn't going to work --- the main problem being that
the transaction status info (pg_log) didn't come with it.

BTW, what Postgres version are you running?  I can tell already that
it's not 7.1, but I'm wondering just how old it is...
