RE: Memory leak in 7.0.3 JDBC driver - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

I posted yesterday regarding a memory leak I found in the JDBC driver in
7.1. I didn't check but it is quite likely it also existed in 7.0. The patch
I created hasn't been checked by anyone else yet so I don't know if it helps
for others or not. Feel free to try it.
