Corrupt how --- what's the exact symptoms?
The *first* bit of advice I'd give you is that you shouldn't be on 8.1.0
anymore. We don't make update releases just for amusement. However,
whether this represents an already-fixed problem is impossible to tell
with no details.
(As for that 2003 discussion, that predates the availability of PITR.
Now, you can use a plain tar backup ... as long as you've got WAL logs
to go with it.)
