I would certainly hope not considering that's what happens during
regular crash recovery also, so if there's an issue with that, we'd have
a problem in released versions.

There's an independent discussion that was being had recently about how
to make sure those records in pg_class get cleaned up in a reasonable
timeframe and don't lead to problems with wrap-arounds, but that's a
different and pre-existing issue.

Thanks!

Stephen
