let's say this patch superscedes the previous one.
I have also attached a patch addressing the similar memory leak problem in
plpython. This includes a slight adjustment of the tests in the source
directory. The patch also includes a cosmetic change to remove a compiler
warning although I think the change makes the code look worse though.
BTW, by my reckoning the memory leak would occur with prepared plans and
without. If that is not the case then I've been barking up the wrong tree.

ProcKill instead, where we still have a PGPROC with which to wait on
LWLocks. This fixes 'can't wait without a PROC structure' failures
occasionally seen during backend shutdown (I'm surprised they weren't
more frequent, actually). Add an Assert() to LWLockAcquire to help
catch any similar mistakes in future. Fix failure to update MyProcPid
for standalone backends and pgstat processes.
executor should not return the tuple as successfully marked, because in
fact it's been deleted. Not clear that this case has ever been seen
in practice (I think you'd have to write a SELECT FOR UPDATE that calls
a function that deletes some row the SELECT will visit later...) but we
should be consistent. Also add comments to several other places that
got it right but didn't explain what they were doing.

reaching the hard limit. After opening 16(=current REST_START value)
results via pg_exec, the next pg_exec tries to find an empty slot
forever :-( . In PgSetResultId file pgtclId.c in the for loop there
has to be done a break, if res_max ist reached. The piece of code
should look like
if (resid == connid->res_max)
{
resid = 0;
break; /* the break as to be added */
}
now everything works (double available results after reaching
RES_START up to reaching RES_HARD_MAX)

contains the correct statistics. This is a partial solution for the
problem of allowing concurrent CREATE INDEX commands: unless they commit
at nearly the same instant, the second one will see the first one's
pg_class updates as committed, and won't try to update again, thus
avoiding the 'tuple concurrently updated' failure.
even when dealing with a nailed-in-cache relation; otherwise, following
VACUUM truncation of a system catalog, other backends might have
unreasonably large values of these fields.
the SQL99 standard. (I'm not sure that the character-class features are
quite right, but that can be fixed later.) Document SQL99 and POSIX
regexps as being different features; provide variants of SUBSTRING for
each.
parse analysis and into the execution code (in tablecmds.c). This
eliminates a lot of unreasonably complex code that needed to have two
or more execution paths in case it was dealing with a not-yet-created
table column vs. an already-existing one. The execution code is always
dealing with already-created tables and so needs only one case. This
also eliminates some potential race conditions (the table wasn't locked
between parse analysis and execution), makes it easy to fix the gripe
about wrong referenced-column names generating a misleading error message,
and lets us easily add a dependency from the foreign-key constraint to
the unique index that it requires the referenced table to have. (Cf.
complaint from Kris Jurka 12-Sep-2002 on pgsql-bugs.)
Also, third try at building a deletion mechanism that is not sensitive
to the order in which pg_depend entries are visited. Adding the above-
mentioned dependency exposed the folly of what dependency.c had been
doing: it failed for cases where B depends on C while both auto-depend
on A. Dropping A should succeed in this case, but was failing if C
happened to be visited before B. It appears the only solution is two
separate walks over the dependency tree.
with OPAQUE. CREATE LANGUAGE, CREATE TRIGGER, and CREATE TYPE will all
accept references to functions declared with OPAQUE --- but they will
issue a NOTICE, and will modify the function entries in pg_proc to have
the preferred type-safe argument or result types instead of OPAQUE.

Ok, fair enough. It's worth noting that they've been broken for a
while -- for example, the HashJoin counter increments were broken when
you comitted r1.20 of executor/nodeHashJoin.c in May of '99.
I've attached a revised patch that doesn't remove the counters (but
doesn't increment them either: I'm not sure of all the places where
the counter should be incremented).

composite types. Add a couple more lsyscache.c routines to support this,
and make use of them in some other places that were doing lookups the
hard way.
ruleutils display is not such a great idea. For arguments of functions
and operators I think we'd better keep the historical behavior of showing
such casts explicitly, to ensure that the function/operator is reparsed
the same way when the rule is reloaded. This also makes the output of
EXPLAIN less obscurantist about exactly what's happening.
to be flexible about assignment casts without introducing ambiguity in
operator/function resolution. Introduce a well-defined promotion hierarchy
for numeric datatypes (int2->int4->int8->numeric->float4->float8).
Change make_const to initially label numeric literals as int4, int8, or
numeric (never float8 anymore).
Explicitly mark Func and RelabelType nodes to indicate whether they came
from a function call, explicit cast, or implicit cast; use this to do
reverse-listing more accurately and without so many heuristics.
Explicit casts to char, varchar, bit, varbit will truncate or pad without
raising an error (the pre-7.2 behavior), while assigning to a column without
any explicit cast will still raise an error for wrong-length data like 7.3.
This more nearly follows the SQL spec than 7.2 behavior (we should be
reporting a 'completion condition' in the explicit-cast cases, but we have
no mechanism for that, so just do silent truncation).
Fix some problems with enforcement of typmod for array elements;
it didn't work at all in 'UPDATE ... SET array[n] = foo', for example.
Provide a generalized array_length_coerce() function to replace the
specialized per-array-type functions that used to be needed (and were
missing for NUMERIC as well as all the datetime types).
Add missing conversions int8<->float4, text<->numeric, oid<->int8.
