There's no need for such drastic action.  Executing

DROP FUNCTION "repeat" (text, integer);

as the PostgreSQL superuser (usually "postgres") is sufficient in this
case.  Most installations won't ever need this procedure anyway.

By the way: This bug is very similar to the xdr_array/calloc/new[] bug
(see e.g. http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/advisories/calloc.php).
