running gfix -mend -ignore on this database gave the following output:

Summary of validation errors
Number of record level errors : 1
Number of index page errors : 377
Number of database page errors : 18415

Running a query looking for the missing records does still shows that they
are missing. Does that mean gfix was unable to fix the problem?
