Problem Description:
--------------------
When you execute a wrong SQL command after create a TEMP TABLE, postgres backend doesn't drop this table after
connectionends. We can't drop pg_temp.PID.N with "drop table" command because it is a system catalog table. So, we had
todumpall the database, edit db.out file to erase lines of pg_temp??? create table and reload it again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Case:
----------
psql mydb
mydb=> select * into temp table TMP from anytable;
mydb=> drop table invalidTable;
mydb=> \q
psql mydb
mydb=> \dS --> You will see a new permanent system table.
