From a0f863637f15c7f64b9a94cdcb767da27b489399 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2000 23:40:36 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] I've just seen what happens when the MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING
 code fires an error at end of transaction ... and I did *not* like it. 
 Reduce ERROR to NOTICE so that this situation doesn't cause an infinite loop.
