X-Git-Tag: REL9_4_BETA1~58 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3a8e9e977fa642433986e5cd145e3a6f86601c2c;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.git Fix use of free in walsender error handling after a sysid mismatch. Found via valgrind. The bug exists since the introduction of the walsender, so backpatch to 9.0.
