Oleg,

This patch has been waiting a long time for some review and commit.
Since it fixes existing bugs, it should be backpatched; or at least some
people believe it needs to be.

Please see downthread -- there is some commentary from Noah ([1] and
others) about the patch itself.  As far I understand, some changes are
still needed, and I don't know if the last version submitted is the
version that should be backpatched.  But *something* needs to be done
about this patch.  Since you and Teodor are the guys mostly in charge of
GiST, could you please see about finalizing and committing it?

Thanks.
