We are trying to perform a 'reindex database' and it will fail at
varying points with a message like:
ERROR: could not open relation with OID 587495058
or
ERROR: could not open relation with OID 587603875

When we queried pg_class we got no rows returned:
select oid,* from pg_class where oid in (587603875, 587495058);

There were no reindex processes running in pg_stat_activity and
stopping/restarting postgres did not clear up these entries.

What could be causing these errors?
