I think this process will run in order of entries in pg_class. Try
SELECT oid, relname FROM pg_class
WHERE relkind = 'r' AND relnamespace = 11
and see if the OIDs seem to match up with the NOTICEs. If so you can
probably assume that the next one after 16386 is the problem.
Another approach is just to individually reindex the tables that are
giving you trouble (pg_class, pg_statistic). Also keep in mind that
pg_statistic is noncritical data --- if all else fails, just do a
DELETE FROM pg_statistic
and then reindex it.
