Don't you think you should have the EXIT *above* the RETURN NEXT?
I would expect this to emit a bogus row of nulls after the last row
returned by the cursor. (At least that's what I get with current
sources. Pre-8.0 it might return the last row twice.)
Running it on a 500-million-row table would quite possibly run out of
memory or disk space, too, because RETURN NEXT accumulates all the
results before the function is actually exited.
