Ensure that the contents of a holdable cursor don't depend on the
contents of TOAST tables (Tom)
</para>
<para>
Previously, large field values in a cursor result might be represented
as TOAST pointers, which would fail if the referenced table got dropped
before the cursor is read, or if the large value is deleted and then
vacuumed away. This cannot happen with an ordinary cursor,
but it could with a cursor that is held past its creating transaction.
