I thought the same, but I also felt that I should make an effort to release
resources as soon as possible, considering the memory context auto deletion
as a last resort. However, looking at other places where PG_CATCH() is
used, memory context is not deleted. So, I removed the modification from
PG_CATCH() block. Thanks.
