Which means it's probably something that needs to be investigated,
especially if all the error messages all reference the same OID.

IIRC one way to get this error was with two sessions - one accessing
tables that are being dropped by the other one.

However the report mentions version 8.4.0. Tejas, the first thing you
should do is updating to the last 8.4.x version - i.e. 8.4.18. Now.
You're missing ~4 years of bugfixes (that might even fix the one you're
reporting).
