Transaction log file screwed up

Hello,
A client database crashed last night and I think I found the solution to
the problem at http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/45.php "Database
Recovery Procedures ". The solution was to append the file with enough
zeros to get the file size correct. The solution was to run

dd bs=8k count=1 < /dev/zero >> $PGDATA/pg_clog/0005

which added the zeros to the end. However my error values are a little
different from ones in the example and the person who posted this noted that
this should NOT be tried haphazardly. Since I'd rather not crash a client's
database to the point of no recovery I wouldn't mind having someone with
more knowledge of PostgreSQL post the command with the correct arguments to
fix the problem, or tell me I'm off my rocker trying to fix it this way.

Following is pg_ctl's output when trying to start the database. Following
that is the directory listing for the pg_clog directory.
