I tried this and found there was still a leak after applying your patch.
What seems like the correct thing is to use PLy_procedure_delete(),
as in the attached applied patch. With this, I see zero leak rate for
either this test or the no-error-thrown variant.
This shows that there is a pre-existing leak in PLy_procedure_delete(),
since it was failing to release the proc block itself. I did not bother
to back-patch that, though, because the one pre-existing call was not in
a place where it'd be likely to get executed over and over.
Thanks for the report!
