I am not too worried about that, because this code path is only used with --verbose-errors and only when printing error
messages.In that situation, the cost of one extra memory allocation per log line should be much smaller than the I/O
costof writing the log message itself. So I think the simpler fix is probably acceptable.
But if we really care about the performance problem, I think PQExpBuffer might be better stored in TState that is per
thread,while CState is per connection.
