Uh, does the same thing happen if you *don't* cancel it?
It looks to me like this could possibly happen due to CheckMaxObjectId()
being applied to each OID found in the existing table.
CheckMaxObjectId was always a kluge, and I'm not sure that it still has
any redeeming social value at all. Can anyone think of a good reason
to keep it?
