Things are getting more and more odd...

I've done some more testing and things are now in a state
where I can create a table, drop the table (and get the
message "DROP" back), yet the relation still exists.

In fact, I can do a "select count(*) from ..." on it and
get zero rows back.

Argh!

Of course, now if I try to create a table with that name,
I'm told the relation already exists.

Different than the situation with pgdump_oid and foo,
where I'm just told that the create failed.

Obviously, some table contents somewhere must be messed
up. Any ideas?
