Well, if you're trying to run postgresql under openmosix, I'd suggest 
looking into the archives of the postgresql-general and hackers mailing 
list.  note that this isn't a problem that has a fix in sight as far as I 
know, i.e. there's a lot of work left to make it a functional solution, 
and even the, it might wind up being slower than just running postgresql 
on a single reasonably fast server.

If you are currently running your database on a mosix cluster I'd 
recommend setting up a single machine and restoring your database to that 
box.

As for getting your table back, I'm not so sure what to do.  It sounds 
like the pg_ catalogs are having some problems caused by being under 
mosix, and you'll have to find someone here more familiar with the inner 
workings of postgresql to get a fix.
