Re: Unescaped new lines in postgres

>From heap.c:

/*
* sanity checks
*/
if (relname && !allow_system_table_mods &&
IsSystemRelationName(relname) && IsNormalProcessingMode())
elog(ERROR, "invalid relation name \"%s\"; "
"the 'pg_' name prefix is reserved for system
catalogs",
relname);

I guess this is a slightly different example than what the issue is below.
Maybe I'm wrong and the above code is still legal. Even so, seems a bit
dodgy to me...
