The 7.3.6 release notes say

     Avoid generating invalid character encoding sequences in corner cases when 
planning LIKE operations

This is far from the most important reason why you shouldn't be running
7.3.2 anymore though.  There are quite a lot of security and data-loss
risks fixed in the 7.3 release series.  See release notes at
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/release.html
