After some discussion among the release team, we've concluded that the best thing to do is to push Pavan's/my patch into today's releases. This does not close the matter by any means: we should continue to study whether there are related bugs or whether there's a more principled way of fixing this bug. But that patch clearly makes things better, and we shouldn't let worries about whether there are more bugs stop us from providing some kind of fix to users.
I've made the push, and barring negative reports from the buildfarm, it will be in today's releases. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
