Summary:                    Memory corruption in postgresql storage module
Description: 
In librdf_storage_postgresql_get_contexts, when allocating a memory for
storing row results for iteration, N bytes are allocated instead of N
size_t, resulting in memory corruption, and the wide array of
unpredictable side effects of that.

Attached is a patch to fix that.

This may be related to corruption reported in issue #102. 

(The patch also removes an unused function with a "FIXME: why is this not
used ?" comment.  It isn't used because the memory the function frees
belongs to a PGresult struct and is freed when that struct is freed with
the appropriate postgresql API.)
