Right, because that column is actually a float4.

I should think this would break in different ways once reltuples exceeds
INT_MAX. A full fix would require changing new_tbl->reltuples to be
float or double, and coping with any downstream changes that implies.
Also, relpages *is* an integer, though it's best interpreted as an
unsigned one. (Ditto for relid.) Looks like this code is 0-for-3 on
getting the datatypes right :-(
