I don't know if we are making progress but I am getting a different
error now :-)

I did the dd command again this time with count=18.  Now when I try to
delete the tuple I get this:

dbmail2=# delete from messageblks where oid = 2916427;
ERROR:  attempted to delete invisible tuple

The Postmaster log has this to say:

ERROR:  XX000: attempted to delete invisible tuple
LOCATION:  heap_delete, heapam.c:1258


Thanks again for the help.
