That's not good.
First, try per-database dumps. Work out which database has the problem.
Do a:
pg_dumpall -U sns84 --globals-only > globals.sql
then for each database:
pg_dump -U sns84 -f $dbname.sql $dbname
(scripting it if desired), until you see which DB fails to dump. Dump
all the DBs you can successfully dump before proceeding.
Then, in the problem dB, try:
REINDEX pg_catalog.pg_namespace;
does that help?
What's the output of:
SELECT oid, nspname FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace;
in the problem DB?
What about \dn in psql?
Is all your data for the problem DB in the "public" schema? If so, can
you do a schema-only dump?
pg_dump -U sns84 -n public -f $dbname.dump $dbname
