     Remove security vulnerabilities that allowed connected users
     to read backend memory (Tom)
    </p><p>
     The vulnerabilities involve suppressing the normal check that a SQL
     function returns the data type it's declared to, and changing the
     data type of a table column (CVE-2007-0555, CVE-2007-0556).  These
     errors can easily be exploited to cause a backend crash, and in
     principle might be used to read database content that the user
     should not be able to access.
