postgresql suddenly died...

during recovery

2009-04-08 16:35:34 CEST FATAL: the database system is starting up
^^^ several
2009-04-08 16:35:34 CEST LOG: incomplete startup packet
2009-04-08 16:36:53 CEST FATAL: the database system is starting up
2009-04-08 16:36:53 CEST LOG: startup process (PID 3176) was
terminated by signal 11: Segmentation fault 2009-04-08 16:36:53 CEST
LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure

It could be something wrong with the recovery process in an aborted
transaction that is causing the segfault...

How can I resurrect the server and load a backup?
It was serving more than one DB and I assume that only one is
causing problems. Can I skip just that one from recovery and start
from backup?

thanks
