Good.

Interesting. If that completed okay, then that leads me to believe that it
was okay after running recover.

Yeah, this isn't good. I'm not sure how to recover from this problem (my
experience with the db tools is pretty limited). If you can dump r0-r262,
then I'd say do that and pull your latest changes from the working copy.

Unfortunately, I'm no guru with the db tools... perhaps someone else here on
the list can chime in with some recommendations.

I would say to the dump and check in your r263 changes again. Keep track of
what you're doing when checking in the r263 changes, just in case it gets
corrupted again.

Sorry I couldn't help more.
