Memory leak in lobj example code
In the Programmer's Guide, the sample code for accessing large objects
from libpq has two functions with memory leaks.
The functions pickout() and overwrite() malloc space for buf which is
never freed.

This problem is also in the 6.5 docs at

Thanks. I have fixed this. It will appear in 7.1, and in the docs
tomorrow.
