Bug reference: 6350

PostgreSQL version: 9.1.1
Operating system: NetBSD
Description:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
A role can be deleted although it is still referenced in a column privilege.
Here is how:
create three new roles:
user, admin, new_admin
create a table, e.g. "bar" with one column, e.g. "foo", owner of the table
is "admin".
now grant "user" select rights on the "foo" column in table "bar".
now change the owner of the table "bar" to "new_admin".
drop the role "admin". PostgreSQL won't complain.
look at the privileges of table "bar" using \dp. The ownership change from
"admin" to "new_admin" did not make it to the column privileges.
