Relation does not exist

Our customer reported a problem with Postgres v.7.3.2 server on Solaris 8
I asked them to run a quick query and it looks like the database is
corrupted:

select count (1) from t_revisioncontrol
ERROR: Relation 17236 does not exist

If you are lucky, the problem is just one of corrupted indexes on
the system catalogs (most likely pg_class_oid_index) and can be fixed
by REINDEXing.

What happened to lead up to this? Usually this sort of thing doesn't
appear out of the blue. Any system crashes or anything?

All they said was that "they did not have power outage"
REINDEX helped, many thanks!
