Oh.  I'll bet you're running into the regproc-reverse-conversion
problem.  'textcat' is one of the histogram values appearing in pg_stats
for pg_operator.oprcode, right?  The error comes when the planner tries
to convert that string back to OID form.  We fixed this in 7.4 by
modifying the way that pg_statistic stores data values, so that no
conversion needs to occur.
