+1. It looks like a thinko from c532d15d. There's no code in between,
so switching to oldcontext doesn't make sense.
MemoryContextSwitchTo(oldcontext);
<< no code here >>
oldcontext = MemoryContextSwitchTo(cstate->copycontext);
I think we also need to remove MemoryContextSwitchTo(oldcontext); at
the end of BeginCopyTo in copyto.c, because we are not changing memory
contexts in between.
