I admit that I hadn't looked at the patch, I was just going on what I
had read here.   I wasn't sure how the re-map would have been done as
some of the information is unavailable during execution, but I see now
that you're modified it so we send a list of Oids that we expect and
remap based on if an unexpected Oid is found.
