Fix elog.c to avoid infinite recursion (leading to backend crash) when
log_min_error_statement is active and there is some problem in logging the current query string; for example, that it's too long to include in the log message without running out of memory. This problem has existed since the log_min_error_statement feature was introduced. No doubt the reason it wasn't detected long ago is that 8.2 is the first release that defaults log_min_error_statement to less than PANIC level. Per report from Bill Moran.
