The constraints test in the regression test suite. Following step
should reproduce the problem.

------------------------------------------------
% cd src/test/regress
% gmake all
% createdb test
% psql -c "select count(oid) from pg_type" test
count
-----
106
(1 row)
% psql test < sql/constraints.sql
% psql -c "select count(oid) from pg_type" test
ERROR: attribute 'oid' not found
------------------------------------------------

I found the problem while debugging pg_dump command. I ran the
regression test, then tried to dump the regression database using
pg_dump that failed with an error message:

getTypes(): SELECT failed

Inspecting the regression test step by step, I found the "no oid
attribute problem" had occured right after the constraints test.
