> drop table t1;
> create temp table t1(i int);
> select * from t1; -- shared cache tells that t1 is not temp table and it could be load balanced,
> -- it could access non existent table from standby nodes.

> Fix is, to not register a temp table to shared relation cache if it's

> Patch attached.

Patch pushed to down to v4.4. A test is also added down to v4.5
(v4.4's test script is not suitable to apply the same patch as master
- v4.5).
