Our customer reported a problem with Postgres v.7.3.2 server on Solaris 8
I asked them to run a quick query and it looks like the database is corrupted:

select count (1) from t_revisioncontrol
ERROR: Relation 17236 does not exist
 
What can I do next?
Thanks,
Mike

If you are lucky, the problem is just one of corrupted indexes on
the system catalogs (most likely pg_class_oid_index) and can be fixed
by REINDEXing.

What happened to lead up to this? Usually this sort of thing doesn't
appear out of the blue. Any system crashes or anything?
