In some cases, it is possible that PostgreSQL tables get corrupted. This can happen in case of hardware failures (e.g. hard disk drives with write-back cache enabled, RAID controllers with faulty/worn out battery backup, etc.), as clearly reported in this wiki page. Furthermore, it can happen in case of incorrect setup, as well.
One of the symptoms of such corruptions is the following message:
ERROR: missing chunk number 0 for toast value 123456 in pg_toast_45678
This almost surely indicates that a corrupted chunk is present within a table file. But there is a good way to get rid of it.
Unfortunately, the Cisco AnyConnect client for Mac conflicts with Pow. And by "conflicts", I mean it causes a grey-screen-of-death kernel panic anytime you connect to the VPN and Pow is installed.
As an alternative, there is OpenConnect, a command-line client for Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN.
Here's how to get it set up on Mac OS X:
OpenConnect can be installed via homebrew:
brew update
brew install openconnect
