While I agree the problem isn't a showstopper, I think it is still worthy of concern: the mbutils example was chosen for being clearly broken, not as being the most serious instance of the problem. The issue might occur in *any* situation in which we're allocating memory in a memory context whose lifetime exceeds the current transaction -- I haven't looked to see what other places might need fixing. -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
