PrivateRefCount is local to a particular backend, so the behavior of
other clients shouldn't matter (in theory anyway ;-)). It should be
sufficient to reproduce the sequence executed by your specific session.
Not that that helps much if you don't remember, but please try.

Don't panic ... but see if you can reproduce it.
