Tom Lane 78dcd027e8 Fix potential memory leakage from HandleParallelMessages().
HandleParallelMessages leaked memory into the caller's context.  Since it's
called from ProcessInterrupts, there is basically zero certainty as to what
CurrentMemoryContext is, which means we could be leaking into long-lived
contexts.  Over the processing of many worker messages that would grow to
be a problem.  Things could be even worse than just a leak, if we happened
to service the interrupt while ErrorContext is current: elog.c thinks it
can reset that on its own whim, possibly yanking storage out from under
HandleParallelMessages.

Give HandleParallelMessages its own dedicated context instead, which we can
reset during each call to ensure there's no accumulation of wasted memory.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
