"could not open relation with OID" errors after promoting the standby to master - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

I've switched servers yesterday night and the previous slave is now
the master. This is 9.0.6 (originally) / 9.0.7 (now) on Linux.

Now I'm seeing a bunch of

ERROR:  could not open relation with OID 1990987633
STATEMENT:  create temp table seen_files (fileid integer)

Interestingly enough, 90% of these happen with "create temp table"
statements, but I also see them with regular read-only select
statements, but I'd say it's at most 10% of these.

Some reports for this error message suggested running reindex, so I've
run reindex table and also vacuum full on all system catalogs (just
for good measure) but that didn't help much. Restarting the cluster
didn't help either.

If it matters, I have not promoted the master with a trigger file but
restarted it after deleting recovery.conf.

Everything else appears to be running fine but since it's a) annoying
and b) not very comforting, I might dump and restore tomorrow night.

I added a sleep() after this error message so that I could attach a
debugger and grab a stack trace:

Any idea? It looks suspicious that it calls into RemoveTempRelations()
from InitTempNamespace() thereby removing the table it is about to
create?
