I recieved this report of a failing set of queries:

        BEGIN;
        CREATE TABLE a (i INT);
        INSERT INTO a VALUES(1);
        DECLARE acur CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM a;
        FETCH acur;
        \q

It certainly looks like a simple set of queries.

If this is done in 8.0.X the server shows:
        
        FATAL:  block 0 of 1663/17230/58190 is still referenced (private 2,
        global 1)
        LOG:  server process (PID 14655) exited with exit code 1
        LOG:  terminating any other active server processes
        LOG:  all server processes terminated; reinitializing
        LOG:  database system was interrupted at 2005-03-17 23:20:52 EST

In CVS HEAD this seems to hang the server session in a way I have not
determined, but shutting down the server is impossible unless you use
pg_ctl -m immediate stop.
