Fix crash in autovacuum (Alvaro)

</para>

|

The crash occurs only after vacuuming a whole database for

anti-transaction-wraparound purposes, which means that it occurs

infrequently and is hard to track down.

Ensure that the contents of a holdable cursor don't depend on the

</para>

Previously, large field values in a cursor result might be represented

as TOAST pointers, which would fail if the referenced table got dropped

before the cursor is read, or if the large value is deleted and then
|
||||
vacuumed away. This cannot happen with an ordinary cursor,
|
||||
but it could with a cursor that is held past its creating transaction.
