Thanks for the fast fix, it's really appreciated.

I tried to hammer[1] your patch[2] onto the REL8_0_STABLE branch
(attached), but am getting

ERROR: out of memory
DETAIL: Failed on request of size 1073741823.
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "breakme" while storing call arguments
into local variables

I'm sorry to be a nuisance, but is this interesting enough for
someone in the know that they'd backport the patch into 8.0?
