You mean with the standalone backend? All the other developers get
pissed at me when I take down the database cluster. :-) Heck, I get
pissed at me because some other thing I was running in the background
goes and blows up.

I'm not actually sure why there would be a problem (aside from
performance) in removing and rebuilding an index on a system table,
unless there are cached query plans somewhere that would try to use
the old or now-nonexistent index.
