>> 2009-11-02 10:13:35 FATAL:  could not access status of
transaction 139856778

 2009-11-02 10:13:35 DETAIL:  Could
not read from file "pg_clog/0085"  at offset 98304: Permission
denied.

 I faced this error before a week only. Fortunately
we have a valid backup and we restored the file (0085) in pg_clog directory. In
our case it is the corruption issue.  Kindly
check with permission and also under the /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_clog directory whether
the file (0085) is there or not ? If it is not there than try to reload it from
the backup. At last you can touch the file and restart the database. However,
in this case you will be lose your data.

You need to fix that "Permission denied" problem.  Either the file
really is marked as not readable by the postgres user, or (probably
more likely on Windows) you have some malfunctioning "antivirus"
software installed.
