I guess my concern is that on Sparc64/OpenBSD-3.6* at least, this bug is exposed by the seg tests but might well occur elsewhere and bite us in various unpleasant ways. I have no idea how many people out there are using this combination. Of course, even it it's only one (and I suspect that's the right order of magnitude) we should want to be careful with their data. cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
