Tom Lane a9f0dbc39d Fix PQsetvalue() to avoid possible crash when adding a new tuple.
PQsetvalue unnecessarily duplicated the logic in pqAddTuple, and didn't
duplicate it exactly either --- pqAddTuple does not care what is in the
tuple-pointer array positions beyond the last valid entry, whereas the
code in PQsetvalue assumed such positions would contain NULL.  This led
to possible crashes if PQsetvalue was applied to a PGresult that had
previously been enlarged with pqAddTuple, for instance one built from a
server query.  Fix by relying on pqAddTuple instead of duplicating logic,
and not assuming anything about the contents of res->tuples[res->ntups].

Back-patch to 8.4, where PQsetvalue was introduced.

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:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

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/.
