This is a bit scary as it suggests a systemic problem.  You should
definitely try to find out exactly what the corruption looks like.
It's usually not hard to home in on where the first corrupted row is
--- you do
    SELECT ctid, * FROM tab LIMIT n;
and determine the largest value of n that won't trigger a failure.
The corrupted region is then just after the last ctid you see.
You can look at those blocks with "pg_filedump -i -f" and see if
anything pops out.  Check the PG archives for previous discussions
of dealing with corrupted data.
