Hmm. Your pg_control file is messed up, apparently. Not sure how it
could have gotten that way; this is the first report of such a failure
that I can recall hearing about.
Probably your best bet for fixing this is to initdb a fresh database
directory and then use pg_upgrade to move your existing user data into
the new database. Read the pg_upgrade directions *carefully* --- it's
a little bit tricky to use correctly.
