Tom Lane f0f9ed68d3 Fix ancient memory leak in contrib/auto_explain.
The ExecutorEnd hook is invoked in a context that could be quite
long-lived, not the executor's own per-query context as I think
we were sort of assuming.  Thus, any cruft generated while producing
the EXPLAIN output could accumulate over multiple queries.  This can
result in spectacular leakage if log_nested_statements is on, and
even without that I'm surprised nobody complained before.

To fix, just switch into the executor's context so that anything we
allocate will be released when standard_ExecutorEnd frees the executor
state.  We might as well nuke the code's retail pfree of the explain
output string, too; that's laughably inadequate to the need.

Japin Li, per report from Jeff Janes.  This bug is old, so
back-patch to all supported branches.

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.  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
