Обсуждение: can't drop table

I'm a bit baffled by this, i can't drop a table and I'm getting the
most bizarre message that doesn't make sense to me.  To make things
worse, I was able to drop it on my test database which is a dump of
my production database running the same version of postgresql.
The index it's complaining about is the primary for a different table.

Does anyone have any ideas?

basement=# \d game_giveaway
                               Table "public.game_giveaway"
        Column        |  Type   |                       Modifiers

Can you get a stack trace from the errfinish call to find out what it's
doing exactly?  I suppose something is trying to open that index with
heap_open, but I dunno what.
