1. patch: Use pg_mbcliplen for truncation in text-to-name conversion

   Karl Schnaitter <karlsch@gmail.com> — 2012-05-25T06:56:01Z

   The text_name function was truncating its input string to the first
   NAMEDATALEN-1 bytes, which is wrong if the string has multi-byte
   characters. This patch changes it to use pg_mbcliplen, following
   the namein function.

   Good catch, but poking around I note that bpchar_name has the same
   disease.  Will fix, thanks for the report!
