Thanks. Shouldn't this fix be back-patched? pg_visibility should fail
properly for indexes and other relkinds even in 9.6. pgstattuple can
also trigger failures. It would be confusing for users to face "could
not open file" kind of errors instead of a proper error message. Note
that I am fine to produce those patches if there is a resource issue
for any of you two.
