-------------------example 1--------------------
$ echo "BEGIN;" > backup.sql
$ pg_dump -o >> backup.sql
$ echo "END;" >> backup.sql
...
$ psql -f backup.sql

PANIC: invalid xlog record length 236052

----------------example 2 ------------------------

There are 1600 tables in database 'db1', I wrote a
pl/pgsql function "update_tables" like

"
FOR table IN SELECT relname FROM pg_class
LOOP
...
DROP INDEX ON ... ;
ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT ...;
...
CREATE INDEX xxx ON TABLE xxx;
...
ALTER TABLE xxx ADD PRIMARY KEY...
ALTER TABLE xxx ADD ...
...
END LOOP
...
"

$ select update_tables();

PANIC: invalid xlog record length 236052
