   I believe this is already fixed in the current Postgres sources.  Rather
   than generating your own patch, would you verify that the current
   sources are fixed?
   
   You can get the current code from the Postgres CVS server --- see
   http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq-cvs.shtml.  Do the checkout with
   "-r REL6_4" to get the soon-to-be-6.4.1 stable branch, rather than
   the 6.5 development branch...

   Hi, Tom. I'll see if I can do that, but be forewarned that I will not be
   able to actually run the "current" Postgres sources in order to actually
   test it. I am working on a database application, not on Postgres, and I
   have to maintain a stable Postgres on my development machine. The reason
   I'm working on the 6.4 RPM for Red Hat 5.2 is for deployment purposes, not
   for testing purposes, though of course I'll test it before deploying it.
   (I want the latest stable version possible for deployment, because once
   deployed, it will be out there for a LONG time).
   
   BTW, congrats to everybody on an excellent job. I examined several
   databases, including some commercial ones, and for everything but speed
   PostgreSQL measured up nicely. And speed wasn't THAT bad, certainly quite
   acceptable for my purposes (and definitely a lot faster than it used to
   be!).
