If there have been any crashes in this database, the problem might be
a variant of Jeff Ross' issue --- to wit, the row killed by
transaction 4971 actually is dead (and its associated toast items
have been removed), but that row is still found by seqscans because
of an incorrect PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag.
