1. 9.0 beta2 pg_upgrade: malloc 0 bytes patch

   Steve Singer <ssinger@ca.afilias.info> — 2010-06-16T15:20:22Z

   Running pg_upgrade against an unmodified (the output of initdb) cluster 
   on AIX is giving me  "pg_alloc: Out of memory" errors.
   
   On some non-linux platforms (including AIX) malloc(0) returns 0.
   
   with the attached patch to pg_upgrade I am now able to get pg_upgrade to 
   convert an 8.3 database consisting of a single table to 9.0 on an AIX 
   server.
