corrupt pg_language index <?>

hi all-

I have a problem with pg_language_oid_index on one db.

This problem makes vacuum fail, both from the command line (vacuumdb)
and within the DB, but therwise the db is still working ok.

prompt> /usr/bin/vacuumdb -a -z -q

... several other db vacuum ok.

on db iscb ...

NOTICE: Rel pg_class: TID 0/46: OID IS INVALID. TUPGONE 0.
ERROR: cannot find attribute 1 of relation pg_language_oid_index
vacuumdb: vacuum iscb failed

--

alternatly,
entering the db with "psql iscb" works,

iscb=# vacuum verbose;

...
...
...
