Yes, override everything there's a switch for. Also check that the
other values shown by pg_controldata look reasonable (the locale
settings are probably the only ones you might get burned on).

Um. That's so far from the values shown in pg_control that it's not funny.
This is 7.4, right? I have a crude xlog dump tool that I'll send you
off-list. We should be able to identify the latest checkpoint in the
existing XLOG files, and that will give you something to work with.
