This is a Windows memory-related error. It might be due to a library
problem, bad RAM or a corrupted pointer in the database table itself.

1. Can you reliably produce the error with this specific gid?
2. Can you dump the database (or perhaps just the tables in question)?

If we can't find any problems in the database itself and you can spare
the downtime, it may be worth running a RAM checker overnight.
