I anticipated that this happened because sarge1 does not touch any
code that could break initdb.

You can, but maybe you should also check whether you installed a newer
kernel recently or suffered a hardware problem (look in the syslogs
for hard disk errors or run memtest86 to check memory).

I leave this as unreproducible for now, there is little I can do about
this.

Good luck!
