The world is not perfect and I know that you are normally very restrictive in what is back-patched from head into bug-fix branches. The 8.1.4 release however, did introduce a problem. You changed the API function inv_open() with the comment "Revise large-object access routines to avoid running with CurrentMemoryContext".

This change will force me to a) introduce patch level sensitive conditionals in the code, and b) have two PostgreSQL 8.1.n compatible releases of PL/Java. One where n < 4 and another where n >= 4. I would like to avoid this in the future if possible. API's should remain stable during patch releases.

Having said that, I've been in the game long enough to know that Utopia doesn't exist. You probably had a very good reason to break the compatibility.

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
