What hardware are you using?  If you're using x86 hardware,
memtestx86 is your best bet.  Linux has badblocks for disk checking;
other systems do this in other ways (with VxFS, you get notified
automatically by Solaris, for instance).

I don't think that's true.  If you got bad data in the first time,
you'll probably have it in all the systems.  SELECT might turn it up
when COPY wouldn't, because AFAIK COPY just spits out what it finds.
