Yeah, I'd suspect index corruption as well, particularly seeing that this
is a three-year-old point release in a branch that had more than its share
of data corruption issues. My suggestion is first update to 9.3.latest,
then reindex.

BTW, 9.3.x will be EOL next month, so you should be thinking about getting
onto a later release branch ...
