Well, of course, people with that type of problem should probably
rethink their use of dynamic SQL when they move to 9.2 anyway, because
that's the case where the new plancache code could actually help them
if they'd only let it.
But anyway, nobody seems to be speaking against back-patching, so
I'll go do it.
