Looks like you've got some corrupted data in that table :-(.

If you have a backup, you should restore this table from backup. Or you
could try dumping just this table (pg_dump -t cham_chamada relatorio).
If the results look correct, drop the table and reload it from the dump.

If you are running a Postgres version earlier than 7.0.3, I'd strongly
advise updating to 7.0.3 ASAP. There are several critical fixes in
7.0.3, including one for a VACUUM problem that might cause this sort of
corruption, depending on what your update patterns are like.
