Closer investigation shows that in the new database, relfilenode 11683
belongs to pg_class_oid_index, which explains why it's being touched
during backend startup. It is indeed of zero length, and surely should
not be. I can't resist the guess that something about the recently
added hacks for pg_largeobject_metadata is not right.
