This is a *seriously* bogus "fix". If elog(FATAL) fails to release buffer references, that's a problem that needs a general solution. Trying to guarantee that we'll clean up all open scans on a retail basis before any elog(FATAL) is obviously hopeless. I'm a bit surprised to hear that such a bug exists anyway; I would've thought that the elog error recovery would clean this up correctly... regards, tom lane
