> If you create a file with an implied sequence and do a couple of inserts, then do a kill -9, when you start up again, the sequence will have a corrupted next_value field.  In the example, the value of last_value is 4 before the kill -9 and 34 when it comes back up.

This is not corruption, it is the intended behavior.  Only if the
sequence were to go backwards would we consider it a bug.

(There were some sequence-can-go-backwards bugs awhile ago ... but
since you didn't say what version you are using, it's impossible
to guess whether you need an upgrade.)
