Hm.  In my own init scripts, I create a new database just after
starting the instance.  That seems to help in reproducing the
failure, because each time I create a new database, connect to it and
reindex then I can see the crash.  If I do a reindex of pg_class
first, I don't see a crash of some rebuilds already happened, but if I
do directly a reindex of one of the indexes first, then the failure is
plain.  If I also add some regression tests, say in create_index.sql
to stress a reindex of pg_class and its indexes, the crash also shows
up.  If I apply my previous patch to make CatalogIndexInsert() not do
an insert on a catalog index being rebuilt, then things turn to be
fine.
