Ah, got it.. found it in Postgres 7.2's HISTORY file:
---8<---
Migration to version 7.2
* In this release, comparisons using = NULL will always return false (or
NULL, more precisely). Previous releases automatically transformed
this syntax to IS NULL. The old behavior can be re-enabled using a
"postgresql.conf" parameter.
---8<---
So for now I'll change the config file to use the old behaviour, until code
revisions support the new syntax.. in my distro the option is
#transform_null_equals = false, the last line of the postgresql.conf file..
Just tested it - uncommented and switched to = true, and ipfreedb can
finally report to me free blocks :)
I'm also guessing my comments about the sequence tables is working only
with 7.2.. (sequence names themselves looks the same, but the pg_* tables
seems to have changed..)
