Probably that database is in danger of XID wraparound, so autovacuum is
selecting it without regard for any other databases.  Keeping broken
databases in your cluster is definitely not a good idea.  I suggest you
DROP it to allow other things to work normally.

Yes, I think we should somehow fix this problem.  But nobody has
attacked it seriously enough yet.
