corruption since 7.4.13 update ?

Hello,
I'e got a very strange (scary) problem.
Look at that :

This one is very strongly indicative of a disk hardware problem.
The others look like they could be consequences of catalog corruption
ensuing from a flaky disk.

If I were you I'd run some hardware diagnostics. Also see if you can
pg_dump ...
