We did a shutdown and restart to clear the buffer cache (but did not reboot
the host) and a vacuum on all dbs in the cluster last night. That cleared it
up for a couple hours, but we are still getting lots of these messages.

Most of them are pg_statistic and we create and drop hundreds of thousands of
temp tables daily, so there is a good chance there is a concurrancy issue.
