If it's 7.0 you might be able to fix it with a REINDEX DATABASE.
You'll need to stop the postmaster and do this in a standalone backend.

My recollection is that the first couple of releases that had REINDEX
had very poor documentation of how to use it ... you might look at the
online documentation for more recent versions, eg
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/sql-reindex.html
(versions newer than 7.3 will tell you about stuff that does not work
in 7.0, so this is probably the best one to look at)
