Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------

This is a follow up of the bug report on db correction by me 
Bug -Digest - Volume 01 - number 581

I have been able to clearly repoduce the problem in a easier way

Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
using psql if we execute the following queries then the database is corrupted

1. Create Sequence s;
2. Begin;
3. Drop Sequence s;
4. Abort;

Now the sequence s is corrupted and I can neither view it, destroy it or
recreate it.The same problem occurs if you create a table or anything else 
instead of a sequence.
The only way that I can get around this problem is by recreating the entire
database.

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know if there is any programming hack to get around this or escape 
recreating the entire database. If any of you know something about it, I would
appreciate it if you could mail me the temporary hack till this bug is fixed
