Since you think it might be necessary to add a workaround in Postgresql, I'll try it again when I install 7.3.4 on my test machine. That will probably be in a few days. I need to get back to real work again. :-) I'm sure I rebuilt 7.3.3 with the symbols left in place. Off the top of your head do you know an easy way to tell if a binary still has symbols? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
