When we are doing GEQO join planning, the current memory context is a short-lived context that will be reset at the end of geqo_eval(). However, the RelOptInfos for base relations are set up before that and then re-used across many GEQO cycles. Hence, any code that modifies a baserel during join planning has to be careful not to put pointers to the short-lived context into the baserel struct. mark_dummy_rel got this wrong, leading to easy-to-reproduce-once-you-know-how crashes in 8.4, as reported off-list by Leo Carson of SDSC. Some improvements made in 9.0 make it difficult to demonstrate the crash in 9.0 or HEAD; but there's no doubt that there's still a risk factor here, so patch all branches that have the function. (Note: 8.3 has a similar function, but it's only applied to joinrels and thus is not a hazard.)
