I'm confused. RelationBuildDesc doesn't open pg_class and shouldn't
be responsible for closing it either; both of those things happen in
ScanPgRelation, leaving no apparent scope for a leak such as you suggest.
Moreover, there's no variable named pg_class_relation in this whole file,
so your patch wouldn't even compile.
Could you show us a test case that provokes the warning you see?
