The index is the oid index on pg_class. Some more info:
*) temp table churn is fairly high. Several dozen get spawned and
destroted at the start of a replication run, all at once, due to some
dodgy coding via dblink. During the replication run, the temp table
churn rate drops.
*) running btreecheck, I see:
cds2=# select bt_index_verify('pg_class_oid_index');
NOTICE: page 7 of index "pg_class_oid_index" is deleted

which looks like the index is corrupted? ISTM _bt_moveright is
hanging because it's trying to move from block 9 to block 9 and so
loops forever.
