Committed now, with small changes. I made the new smgrclearowner
function to check that the SmgrRelation object is indeed owned by the
owner we expect, so that it doesn't unown it if it's actually owned by
someone else. That shouldn't happen, but it seemed prudent to check.
Thanks Andres. I tried to reproduce the valgrind message you reported,
but couldn't. How did you do it? Did this commit fix it?
And thanks for the nudge, Bruce.
