The proximate cause is that I changed pg_index.indproc from plain "oid"
to "regproc" a week ago, so the output format is different.  It seemed
like a good idea at the time ...

I have hacked pg_dump to force the output format back to oid, but I'm
sorta thinking that the schema change was ill-advised because it's
likely to break other applications that look at indproc.  Should we
change the column back to oid?
