Tom Lane fd19525756 Put back one copyObject() in rewriteTargetView().
Commit 6f8cb1e234 tried to centralize rewriteTargetView's copying
of a target view's Query struct.  However, it ignored the fact that the
jointree->quals field was used twice.  This only accidentally failed to
fail immediately because the same ChangeVarNodes mutation is applied in
both cases, so that we end up with logically identical expression trees
for both uses (and, as the code stands, the second ChangeVarNodes call
actually does nothing).  However, we end up linking *physically*
identical expression trees into both an RTE's securityQuals list and
the WithCheckOption list.  That's pretty dangerous, mainly because
prepsecurity.c is utterly cavalier about further munging such structures
without copying them first.

There may be no live bug in HEAD as a consequence of the fact that we apply
preprocess_expression in between here and prepsecurity.c, and that will
make a copy of the tree anyway.  Or it may just be that the regression
tests happen to not trip over it.  (I noticed this only because things
fell over pretty badly when I tried to relocate the planner's call of
expand_security_quals to before expression preprocessing.)  In any case
it's very fragile because if anyone tried to make the securityQuals and
WithCheckOption trees diverge before we reach preprocess_expression, it
would not work.  The fact that the current code will preprocess
securityQuals and WithCheckOptions lists at completely different times in
different query levels does nothing to increase my trust that that can't
happen.

In view of the fact that 9.5.0 is almost upon us and the aforesaid commit
has seen exactly zero field testing, the prudent course is to make an extra
copy of the quals so that the behavior is not different from what has been
in the field during beta.

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
