Believe me, you don't want these people submitting bugs unfiltered by me.
Especially since they can't remember when they grabbed the snapshot.
Seriously, though, it would be an aid to testing if we could add a tag to the
version or README file or something for the pgsql-snapshot that told us build
date. If there is one, I can't find it. When Marc gets done putting out
fires, I'll ask him how difficult that would be.
