Executing a user created function twice give an error

Hi,

PostgreSQL 8.1.11

I have created a function that works fine when run for the first time after that it gives an error until I open another Query window.

The function is as follows

///////////////////////////////

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION func_snappointtonetwork(p_pointtobesnapped "varchar", p_currentboundingbox "varchar")
RETURNS text AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
v_geom bytea;
v_snappedPoint varchar;
v_HAPMSSection varchar;
v_road varchar;
v_area varchar;
v_cWay varchar;
v_cWayDirection varchar;
BEGIN
SELECT hapms2.sect_label as link_Id,distance(hapms2.geom,ST_GeomFromEWKT(p_pointToBeSnapped)) as distance
INTO TEMPORARY TABLE __distances__temp
FROM public.hapms_road hapms2 WHERE (hapms2.geom && ST_box2d(ST_GeomFromEWKT(p_currentBoundingBox)));

SELECT INTO v_geom,v_HAPMSSection,v_road,v_area,v_cWay,v_cWayDirection
asEWKB(hapms1.geom),hapms1.sect_label,hapms1.roa_number,hapms1.area_name,hapms1.funct_name,hapms1.direc_code
FROM public.hapms_road hapms1
WHERE (hapms1.geom && ST_box2d(GeomFromEWKT(p_currentBoundingBox))) AND distance(hapms1.geom, GeomFromEWKT(p_pointToBeSnapped)) < all
(SELECT distance FROM __distances__temp WHERE public.hapms1.sect_label <> link_Id);

SELECT ST_AsEWKT(ST_line_interpolate_point(ST_LineMerge(ST_GeomFromEWKB(v_geom)),ST_line_locate_point(ST_LineMerge(ST_GeomFromEWKB(v_geom)),ST_GeomFromEWKT(p_pointToBeSnapped))))
INTO v_snappedPoint;

DROP TABLE __distances__temp;

RETURN v_snappedPoint || '|' || v_HAPMSSection || '|' || v_road || '|' || v_area || '|' || v_cWay || ' ' || v_cWayDirection;
END;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
ALTER FUNCTION func_snappointtonetwork(p_pointtobesnapped "varchar", p_currentboundingbox "varchar") OWNER TO postgres;

///////////////////////////////

Error:

ERROR: relation with OID 100412 does not exist

Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated.
