parseboot.patch (text/plain) patch
(unnamed) (text/plain)

I happened to notice that we have dead code to parse floating point
numbers in the boostrap scanner/parser.  This seems unused since forever
-- or, more precisely, I couldn't find any floats in 8.2's postgres.bki
(the oldest I have around).  I would just rip it out, per the attached.
