22 years agoFix nasty memory leak in pg_restore: _PrintData called inflateInit but
Tom Lane [Tue, 27 Nov 2001 23:48:12 +0000 (23:48 +0000)]
Fix nasty memory leak in pg_restore: _PrintData called inflateInit but
never did inflateEnd, thus leaking some tens of KB per call.  Which
added up *real fast* when dealing with, say, thousands of BLOBs.
Thanks to Lane Rollins for the bug report.
