This is just another variation on the theme of kluging the catcache to
do something it shouldn't. You're still building a catcache on a
non-unique index, and that is going to lead to trouble.

(I'm a bit surprised that there is no Assert in catcache.c checking
that the index nominated to support a catcache is unique ...)
