I've pushed a fix for a bug that could possibly also cause
this. Although it'd be odd that it always hits the user catalog
table. Except if your tests mostly modify the slony tables, but do not
do much DDL otherwise?

If it still happens, could you send me instructions of how to reproduce
the problem after cloning the necessary source repositories? It's quite
hard to validate a possible fix otherwise.
