As has been noted by others, this is an artifact of the JDBC driver
holding onto a stored query plan.  And it's somewhat worth noting that
this is not unique to Slony-I...

I have added warnings to relevant documentation in the Slony-I CVS
tree.  This may also be worthy of a FAQ note for PostgreSQL itself,
and is almost certainly worthy of note in the JDBC documentation...
