That's a lot of data - somewhere around 43GB at the moment. And pg_dump seems to fail altogether on the affected
databases,so the pg_clog issue actually means that I cannot make any current backups.

Tried that, but it also makes PostgreSQL crash, so no luck there either. I also dropped template0, recreated it from
template1,did a VACUUM FREEZE on it, marked it as template again and disallowed connections.
