The crash occurs only after vacuuming a whole database for |

anti-transaction-wraparound purposes, which means that it occurs |

infrequently and is hard to track down. |

Previously, large field values in a cursor result might be represented |

as TOAST pointers, which would fail if the referenced table got dropped |
|
|
|
|
before the cursor is read, or if the large value is deleted and then |
|
|
|
|
vacuumed away. This cannot happen with an ordinary cursor, |
|
|
|
|
but it could with a cursor that is held past its creating transaction. |
