Someone at Fujitsu pointed out the following bug in 8.0:
begin;
savepoint x;
create table abc (a int);
insert into abc values (5);
declare foo cursor for select * from abc;
rollback to x;
fetch from foo; -- hits an Assert()
commit;
The stacktrace is:
#2 0x0826367b in ExceptionalCondition (conditionName=0x8316544

x;") at /home/neilc/pgsql/src/backend/tcop/postgres.c:950
So what's happening is that the cursor still holds a reference to the
newly-created table, so we can't just blow it away. I don't know the
subtransaction code too well, so I'm not sure of the right fix.
Comments?
