What are the bugs?
AFAIK:
1. Tuple freezing and hint bits were not WAL-logged, which could lead
to data corruption if database crashed after VACUUM. See recent thread
titled "WAL logging freezing".
2. B-tree page deletion bug, which could lead to VACUUM erroring with
"failed to re-find parent key" message. See thread "Nasty btree
deletion bug":

I assume that we also want to fix the plperl/plperlu interaction issue,
especially as it will result in changed behaviour on some platforms, at
least.
I have asked a couple of people to look over and test the patch I posted
on Sunday, but i have not had any reaction so far and feel slightly
nervous about applying it. I will make some time to do more testing
myself this weekend.
cheers
