Hi, hackers!

There is a memory leak in functions check_application_name() and
check_cluster_name().
Functions are located in src/backend/commands/variable.c

The leak can be triggered using SQL command: SET
application_name=new_name;
You can run pgbench with this command for a long time by passing this
command in file via '-f' flag.

regards,
Tofig

LGTM. It seems commit a9d58bfe8a3a missed to fix this memory leak.

Yeah. While fairly insignificant in nature, and there has been no complaints
until now, I'm preparing a backpatch down to REL_15_STABLE to keep the code in
sync for other backpatches to apply clean.

Done, but to 16 and not 15 which was a typo in the above email.
