I think it should use the current DB's lastsysoid, which is how I
left the code.
Given the present backend coding, all the DBs in an installation will
have the same lastsysoid as template0 anyway, barring manual
intervention. The only reason they'd be different is if the dbadmin
deliberately changed one in order to prevent pg_dump from dumping part
of that database. Now offhand I don't see a good *reason* for someone
to do that, but I don't see any reason to make it impossible to do it,
either.
