BUG #2277: Can't Open Relation when returning data from a stored procedure

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 2277
Logged by: Andrew Nykolyn
Email address: nykolyn(at)ngc(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.3
Operating system: OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update
4) Kernel 2.4.21-27.0.4.EL.snaresmp on an i686
Description: Can't Open Relation when returning data from a stored
procedure
Details:

When running a stored procedure that loads data into a temporary table, the
following error occurs when returning the result set through a composite
data type.

Could not open relation with OID 443748

The OID number changes on each error invocation of the stored procedure.
This occurs only when a certain row of data is returned. When that row is
not part of the result set the stored procedure executes correctly. The
table contains many text fields. The row in question contains two text
fields with large amounts of data. When the data from those two text fields
are deleted, the procedure executes correctly. I have pared down the DDL,
stored procedure and data and still can reproduce the problem. Included in
this email is a self contained script containing: the pared down versions
of: the stored procedure; the DDL to create the table; insert statements to
load the data that contains the data that corrupts the procedure; and the
executions of the stored procedure to produce the error as well as
demonstration that deletion of the bad data executes the stored procedure
correctly. The script can be executed directly through psql to show the
problem.

The script will perform the following actions create the table create the
type create the stored procedure load the data, execute the stored procedure
without error and with the data in question execute the stored procedure to
get the error which includes the data in question remove the data in
question execute the stored procedure with the updated data and perform
correctly

I hope that there is enough information here for this issue to be resolved.
It is critical for the application that I am developing. This is my second
submittal of this problem because I don't know what the turnaround time is
for bug submittals and there are no attachments this time and the script is
now completely self contained. My appolgies if this is already being looked
at. Thank you very much for your help.
