There's a fix for Postgresql 7.0.3 here:

I'm strongly considering taking the patches offline and reselling them
as I seem to be the only source for them nowadays.

No clue, but as a somewhat related note, I don't think indexes work

WAL is a backup system.
afaik WAL means the end of the dreaded 'vacuum', it allows the system

also do it in a manner that still allows transactional dumping.
