Just for the archives' sake: I dug through the OS X source code archives and confirmed that this behavior changed at 10.3: compare getproclline in 10.2.8 http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/adv_cmds/adv_cmds-46/ps.tproj/print.c vs 10.3 http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/adv_cmds/adv_cmds-63/ps.tproj/print.c So we don't need a version check unless you're worried about somebody trying to run Postgres 9.x on OS X 10.2 (which was retired in 2003). regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
