RPMs for 7.2.4 built on Red Hat Linux 9 are uploading now to 
ftp.postgresql.org.  They are in the directory 
/pub/binary/v7.2.4/RPMS/redhat-9, as 7.2.4-2PGDG.  Source RPM is in 
/pub/binary/v7.2.4/RPMS/SRPMS

There are a few missing files fixed by this as well as just being compiled 
under RHL9.  I will upload RHL 8.0 versions if demand is there.  Likewise, 
versions for RHL7.3 and RHL6.2 may be arrangable, if the demand is there.

Note that the RHL9 RPMset does not include postgresql-perl due to some issues 
with my build setup (that is, I don't want to build as root since I have a 
working and in use 7.3.2 setup on my buildbox, and the perl subpackage won't 
build as a normal user).  As this RPMset is meant for those who upgraded to 
RHL9 and can't get their data anymore, this isn't a terrible issue: 
'downgrade' the postgresql RPMs (using --oldpackage), dump your data, upgrade 
back, and try to restore.  Iterate until working... :-)  Make a copy of 
/var/lib/pgsql/data first, please.
