The leak is caused by the memory allocation in
src/interfaces/ecpg/lib/execute.c in line 669 which is never freed.
Adding a "free(array_query);" after PQexec in line 671 seems to fix the
leak.

starting a new hashtable search no longer clobbers any other search

it will not crash or go into an infinite loop if invoked recursively,
as for example by a second SI Reset message arriving while we are still
processing a prior one.

for Alpha gcc case.  For Alpha non-gcc case, replace use of
__INTERLOCKED_TESTBITSS_QUAD builtin with __LOCK_LONG_RETRY and
__UNLOCK_LONG.  The former does not execute an MB instruction and
therefore was guaranteed not to work on multiprocessor machines.
The LOCK_LONG builtins produce code that is the same in all essential
details as the gcc assembler code.

In theory we should always get EEXIST if there's a key collision, but
if the kernel code tests error conditions in a weird order, perhaps
EACCES or EIDRM could occur too.

assume that TAS() will always succeed the first time, even if the lock
is known to be free.  Also, make sure that code will eventually time out
and report a stuck spinlock, rather than looping forever.  Small cleanups
in s_lock.h, too.

The first fix fixes the PreparedStatement object to not allocate
unnecessary objects when converting native types to Stings.  The old
code used the following format:
        (new Integer(x)).toString()
whereas this can more efficiently be occompilshed by:
        Integer.toString(x);
avoiding the unnecessary object creation.

The second fix is to release some resources on the close() of a
ResultSet.  Currently the close() method on ResultSet is a noop.  The
purpose of the close() method is to release resources when the ResultSet
is no longer needed.  The fix is to free the tuples cached by the
ResultSet when it is closed (by clearing out the Vector object that
stores the tuples).  This is important for my application, as I have a
cache of Statement objects that I reuse.  Since the Statement object
maintains a reference to the ResultSet and the ResultSet kept references
to the old tuples, my cache was holding on to a lot of memory.
