   I'm almost back on-line (I hope) after massive hacker activity took out
   the alumni pop server at Caltech. From looking through the hackers
   mhonarc archive (hmm, don't much like that name "hackers" anymore; it's
   cost us a _lot_ at work and taken me out of Postgres for more than a
   month :( I see two issues for me to look at: the one above and the one
   from Brett regarding a core dump from a mal-formed query. Will look at
   both.
   
   I have some additional patches in the parser area which continue the
   type matching/coersion work from the last two months.
   
   I've got patches to put 64-bit integers into the backend; they should
   work for Alphas and at least some gcc-compiled 32-bit machines, but
   we'll need beta testers to help get the configuration for our other
   supported platforms. Once we have that for v6.4, we can also use this
   type internally to implement additional types like numeric() and
   decimal().
   
   All mail sent to me from June 12 to now has been lost (I lost access to
   the pop server and procmail went away, and so my .forward file reference
   to procmail was broken and unfixable). It is not yet fixed, but should
   be in a day or so. Talk to you then. In the meantime, I will be looking
   at the mhonarc archives to keep up (great feature scrappy!)...

   Yea, that is on my list too.  One of us will have it fixed for 6.4.  The
   rest sounds good to me.  I am not particularly happy with 'hackers' name
   either.

   Aww.  Hackers is a great name.  Devel might be more appropriate, but
   hackers isn't so bad.
