My advice is not to try to fill in the gaps --- better to leave them
there so that if any other objects are created that're related to the
nearby ones, they can be assigned nearby OIDs. If you've got a patch
that is going to use a bunch of OIDs for related purposes, it's better
to use a contiguous chunk of OIDs for it.

I believe that the bitmap-indexing patch is using OIDs starting at 3000
(at least that's the advice I gave them awhile back). If you need less
than 50 you might start at 2950, else check that patch and start above
whatever they used.
