Citation from the pcb manual 

/-----------http://pcb.sourceforge.net/pcb-cvs/pcb.html------------
MorphPolygon(Object|Selected)

Converts dead polygon islands into separate polygons.

If a polygon is divided into unconnected "islands", you can use this 
command to convert the otherwise disappeared islands into separate 
polygons. Be sure the cursor is over a portion of the polygon that 
remains visible. Very small islands that may flake off are automatically 
deleted.

This feature has not been included into the GUI yet (neither GTK, nor 
lesstif). However, you can take advantage of the command line input 
inside pcb:

	1) Select the polygon

	2) Type a colon (:) to enter command line mode. 

	3) Enter 
		morphpolygon(selected)
	
	4) Hit the [return] key

BTW, how many more treasures are hidden below the surface like that? 
Skipping a few items below in the manual I find the renumber command. It 
is supposed to issue a file of changes which could be interpreted by the 
schematic capture application. Is there any way to take advantage of this 
feature with gschem?
