No, but this would just be the same situation that prevails after
OID-counter wraparound, so I don't see a compelling need for us to
change the OID counter in the new DB. If the user has done the Proper
Things (ie, made unique indexes on his OIDs) then it won't matter.
If he didn't, his old DB was a time bomb anyway.
