Looks like you've got some form of coruption:

Thanks for the insight. I thought that might be it, but never having seen this before I'm glad to have some confirmation.
The question is whether it was corrupted on the master and then
replicated to the slave, or if it was corrupted on the slave. I'd
guess that the pg_dump tried to read from that page and barfed. It
would be interesting to try re-running the pg_dump again to see if
this crash can be replicated. If so, does it also replicate if you
run pg_dump against the master? If not, then the corruption is
isolated to the slave, and you might have a hardware problem which is
causing the data to get corrupted.
Yes, we've gotten several clean dumps form the slave since then w/o crashing. We're running these machines on EC2 so we sadly have no control over the hardware. With your confirmation, and an apparently clean state now, I'm inclined to chalk this up to an EC2 hiccup getting caught by Postgres and get on with life.
Thanks!
