A full dump/restore of the database (via pg_dump) might work, as long
as the oids are not dumped with the database, which I believe to be
the default. This ought to reset the oid counter. Some while back,
oids were changed so the counter was table specific (IIRC). Not sure
was after 9.2. If it was, upgrading the database (which you should be
looking at anyways) might help. Also, raise an issue upstream.
