via extended query protocol, because it sends Sync right after Execute
without realizing that the command to be executed is COPY. There seems
to be no reasonable way for it to realize that, either, so the best fix
seems to be to make the backend ignore Sync during copy-in mode. Bit of
a wart on the protocol, but little alternative. Also, libpq must send
another Sync after terminating the COPY, if the command was issued via
Execute.

patch for one of them (replacing an explicit reference to thread.c with

yet, though). Avoid using nth() to fetch tlist entries; provide a
common routine get_tle_by_resno() to search a tlist for a particular
resno. This replaces a couple uses of nth() and a dozen hand-coded
search loops. Also, replace a few uses of nth(length-1, list) with
llast().
index pages: when _bt_getbuf asks the FSM for a free index page, it is
possible (and, in some cases, even moderately likely) that the answer
will be the same page that _bt_split is trying to split. _bt_getbuf
already knew that the returned page might not be free, but it wasn't
prepared for the possibility that even trying to lock the page could
be problematic. Fix by doing a conditional rather than unconditional
grab of the page lock.

vulnerability. This fix completely removes the ability (hack) of being able
to bind a list of values in an in clause. It was demonstrated that by allowing
that functionality you open up the possibility for certain types of
sql injection attacks. The previous fix attempts all focused on preventing
the insertion of additional sql statements (the semi-colon problem:
xxx; any new sql statement here). But that still left the ability to
change the where clause on the current statement or perform a subselect
which can circumvent applicaiton security logic and/or allow you to call
any stored function.

we were "in flight" to it. This is not a significant problem when the root

I'd have to disagree with regards to the memory leaks not being worth
a mention - any such leak can cause problems when the PostgreSQL
installation is either unattended, long-living andor has very high
connection levels. Half a kilobyte on start-up isn't negligible in
this light.
