I don't find this very surprising ... I would suggest using "reindex
index" for each index instead. I'm not sure if REINDEX TABLE is
supposed to be deadlock-free.
It's not guaranteed to be so, but I'd think simple cases would be
okay. What's that other process doing?
The other process is inserting into the user_profile table.
