Actually, no one has every reported a roll-over, so I can't say for
sure. They are unsigned ints, so it should go past 2 gigs. If it goes
past 4 gigs, it rolls to zero again. Having duplicate oids in the same
table is really not a crisis, though there could be come oid collision
in the system tables that could cause problems.
