Run pg_get_backend_idset() (or something like that, maybe there's "stat"
in the name), which returns a list of backend IDs that are running.
Then see which temp schemas have numbers beyond what's listed there;
those shouldn't be there and could cause problems if the numbers are too
high.

It does, unless one of them gets a very high backend ID that's not
reused.
