This sounds very much like transaction Id wraparound, meaning you failed
to vacuum pg_class (and possibly other system catalogs as well) in a
timely fashion. Basically you need to return the transaction counter a
little bit, then vacuum and make sure all your data is still consistent.
This has been discussed before. See for example:
