   Your name		: Tomasz Wegrzanowski	
   Your email address	: taw@users.sourceforge.net
   
   
   Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
   ------------------------------------------------
   
   In psql typelist help (\dT) macaddr is described:
    macaddr                  | XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, MAC address
   40 bits total.
   It should be:
    macaddr                  | XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, MAC address
   48 bits total.
   
   macaddr datatype works correctly (48-bit).
   
   If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   Well, it's pretty obvious how to fix it.
   Sorry for cutting of unused parts of the template.
   You should write whether to cut them or left empty in bug.template comments.

   Yup.  I have changed the pg_description entry for 7.1.1 ... but you
   will not see the fix take effect unless you do an initdb.

   I went ahead and changed the pg_description entry for 7.1.1; there
   doesn't seem to be any harm in that ...
