Better a memory leak than broken ecpg ;-). Nobody except Michael
is terribly comfortable with that code, so we'd all rather wait for
him to review and apply the patch.
More generally, pre-existing bugs have never been considered release
stoppers. At this point what we would block the release for is *new*
bugs in 9.0. (An exception to that general rule is pre-existing bugs
that would require an initdb to fix; but this one isn't that either.)
