Should pg_autovacuum be vacuuming temporary tables?  Secondly, why would 
a temporary table for another session be visible to pg_autovacuum?  I 
know these may sound like stupid questions, but I'm a little shocked 
that it found a temp table.  Did someone make a permanent table, delete 
it, and pg_autovacuum found it in between those operations?
