Bug reference: 2678
Logged by: Jeff Trout
Email address: threshar(at)torgo(dot)978(dot)org
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4
Operating system: OSX 10.4.8 (Also occurs on FC4 w/kernel 2.6.16
Description: Create or replace function with OUT args
Details:

it seems there may be some bug with cache coherency when replacing functions
that use OUT arguments. This happens on Linux (2.6.16 ) - same version of
PG. (I didn't test across the pg restart as others are using that system).
I've created and replaced hundreds of "normal" functions. so I think it has
to do with OUT params.

Here's a transcript:

skittlebrau:/tmp postgres$ cat broken2.sql
create or replace function cachebroken(p_id int, out o_val1 int, out o_val2
int)
as $$
BEGIN

o_val1 := 12;
o_val2 := 45;

END
$$
language 'plpgsql';
