Not at the moment. It might be worth teaching the pgstats code to
cross-check the activity list every so often, but the only place
where it'd really fit naturally is vacuum_tabstats which is probably
not executed often enough to be helpful.
Or maybe we could just filter the data on the reading side: ignore
anything the stats collector reports that doesn't correspond to a
live backend according to the PGPROC array.
Jan, any thoughts?
