Bug or Feature - plpgsql odity

Hi,

following odity:

I have a table "quote".
In a stored proc I do a

rquote quote%ROWTYPE;

SELECT INTO rquote * FROM quote WHERE .....(some clause resulting in one
record)

Fine so far.
Now I manually add a column to the table (via psql).

After that I do a vacuum full analyze - just to make sure.

BUT: The above SELECT fails to retrieve a value for the new column. It will
always return NULL, even after I stored the procedure again (using the create
or replace syntax). Values for all other columns are OK.

If I declare the rquote variable as type RECORD everything works as expected.

Is the %ROWTYPE" cached somewhere ? Is that intentional ?
Accessing rquote.newcolumn doesn't raise an exception, but the value is NULL

Running 7.3.2 on linux.
