Unable to explain DB error

Postgres V7.3.9-2.

While executing a query in psql, the following error was generated:

vsa=# select * from vsa.dtbl_logged_event_20050318 where id=2689472;
PANIC: open of /vsa/db/pg_clog/0FC0 failed: No such file or directory
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
!#

I checked in the /vsa/db/pg_clog directory, and the files have monotonically increasing filenames starting with 0000. The most recent names are:

-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 262144 Jul 25 21:39 04CA
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 262144 Jul 26 01:10 04CB
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 262144 Jul 26 05:39 04CC
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 262144 Jul 28 00:01 04CD
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 237568 Jul 28 11:31 04CE

Any idea why Postgres would be looking for a clog file name 0FC0 when the most recent filename is 04CE?

Any help and suggestions for recovery are appreciated.
