There are potential problems if you pass large parameters to the function
and it returns large values.  See the comments around
org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.MAX_BUFFERED_QUERIES.
Despite the potential problems I think we should implement this
solution because we've gotten this complaint reasonably often and the
errors should be rare (although unfortunately difficult to diagnose).
