We'd throw away the partial result anyway after parsing the error message. Throwing it away beforehand costs nothing and reduces the risk of out-of-memory failure. Also, at least in systems that behave like glibc/Linux, if the partial result was very large then the error PGresult would get allocated at high heap addresses, preventing the heap storage used by the partial result from being released to the OS until the error PGresult is freed. In psql >= 9.6, we hold onto the error PGresult until another error is received (for \errverbose), so that this behavior causes a seeming memory leak to persist for awhile, as in a recent complaint from Darafei Praliaskouski. This is a potential performance regression from older versions, justifying back-patching at least that far. But similar behavior may occur in other client applications, so it seems worth just back-patching to all supported branches.
