This bug has been present since release 8.2, but occurs so infrequently
that it was not diagnosed until now. If you have reason to suspect
that it has happened in your database, reindexing the affected index
will fix things.

usually nil, but there are scenarios wherein a standby server that's
been promoted to master might take a long time to advance the OID
counter to a reasonable value once values are needed.

Reports suggest that the old code doesn't fail in an obvious way on
recent ARM boards, but simply doesn't interlock concurrent accesses,
leading to bizarre failures in multiprocess operation.
