(picking up an old thread while at a boring wait at the airport.. anyway) I keep trying to think of more nad better ways to do this :-) Perhaps we should put some text on the bug reporting form (and in the documentation about bug reporting) that's basically "don't bother reporting a bug unless you're on the latest in a branch, and at least make sure you're on one of the maojr releases listed on www.postgresql.org"? Seems reasonable? //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
