Hi,

I have this error message during (I think) a simple select. (I think only
because the user is far from me and I cannot reproduce the error.) I found a
mail like this in the archive at 2002 august but there was no really
solution for this. Is there any? Can the vacuum or dump/restore be one?

Thanks, Attila

Sorry, it runs on Win98, Cygwin and the version is 7.2.

It might be caused by corrupted data on disk (specifically, a bad length
word in a variable-length field). Hard to tell with so little info.
