Tom Lane a3d9a2421a Fix an old corner-case bug in set_config_option: push_old_value has to be
called before, not after, calling the assign_hook if any.  This is because
push_old_value might fail (due to palloc out-of-memory), and in that case
there would be no stack entry to tell transaction abort to undo the GUC
assignment.  Of course the actual assignment to the GUC variable hasn't
happened yet --- but the assign_hook might have altered subsidiary state.
Without a stack entry we won't call it again to make it undo such actions.
So this is necessary to make the world safe for assign_hooks with side
effects.  Per a discussion a couple weeks ago with Magnus.

Back-patch to 8.0.  7.x did not have the problem because it did not have
allocatable stacks of GUC values.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
