Revering Fujii's patch, if it's not working, is an option. There is no patch which we could revert to fix this, by Fujii Masao or anyone else. The patch he proposed has not been committed. I am still studying the problem to try to figure out where to go with it. We could decide to punt the whole thing for 9.1, but I'd like to understand what the options are before we make that decision. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company
