2ndQuadrant has a lot of experience with helping people out with
problems like this, including data recovery from damaged databases.
Please let us know if we can be of any help. Apologies for mentioning
commercial matters on list, though this work helps fund further
developments in this area.

I'd like to learn from your experience.  Perhaps you would be willing to 
expand on the events and your actions.
