Should this info be put into the docs? Or maybe the FAQ? It seems bad to
me to point people at the archives for something like this...

This is a corrupt-data problem: the xmin or xmax field of a row header
has been overwritten with garbage. (Very likely, more than that has
been overwritten, but xmin/xmax is usually the first thing looked at
so this is the typical symptom.)
See the PG list archives for prior discussions of how to isolate and get
rid of corrupted rows.
