to assume that the string pointer passed to set_ps_display is good forever.
There's no need to anyway since ps_status.c itself saves the string, and
we already had an API (get_ps_display) to return it.
I believe this explains Jim Nasby's report of intermittent crashes in
elog.c when %i format code is in use in log_line_prefix.
While at it, repair a previously unnoticed problem: on some platforms such as
Darwin, the string returned by get_ps_display was blank-padded to the maximum
length, meaning that lock.c's attempt to append " waiting" to it never worked.
very narrow window in which SimpleLruReadPage or SimpleLruWritePage could
think that I/O was needed when it wasn't (and indeed the buffer had already
been assigned to another page). This would result in an Assert failure if
Asserts were enabled, and probably in silent data corruption if not.

I intend a more extensive fix when 8.2 development starts, but this is a
reasonably low-impact patch for the existing branches.
setting for the regression makefile, allowing Windows users to force locale
settings since Windows does not get its locale from the environment.
Per Petr Jelinek.
they were added to a group. Also fix visibility of our own changes when
creating the group file. This fixes:
test=> CREATE GROUP g1;
CREATE GROUP
test=> CREATE USER u1 IN GROUP g1;
CREATE USER
test=> \! cat /u/pg/data/global/pg_group
"g1" "u1"
test=> CREATE USER u2 IN GROUP g1;
CREATE USER
test=> \! cat /u/pg/data/global/pg_group
"g1" "u1" "u2"
test=> ALTER USER u2 RENAME TO u3;
ALTER USER
test=> \! cat /u/pg/data/global/pg_group
"g1" "u1" "u3"

for an outer join; symptom is bogus error "RIGHT JOIN is only supported with
merge-joinable join conditions". Problem was that select_mergejoin_clauses
did its tests in the wrong order. We need to force left join not right join
for a merge join when there are non-mergeable join clauses; but the test for
this only accounted for mergejoinability of the clause operator, and not
whether the left and right Vars were of the proper relations. Per report
from Jean-Pierre Pelletier.
since it can take a fair amount of time and this can confuse boot scripts
that expect postmaster.pid to appear quickly. Move initialization of SSL
library and preloaded libraries to after that point, too, just for luck.
Per reports from Tony Caduto and others.
the wrong buffer dirty when trying to kill a dead index entry that's on
a page after the one it started on. No risk of data corruption, just
inefficiency, but still a bug.
A RestrictInfo representing an OR clause now contains two versions of
the contained expression, one with sub-RestrictInfos and one without.
clause_selectivity() should descend to the version with sub-RestrictInfos
so that it has a chance of caching its results for the OR's sub-clauses.
Failing to do so resulted in redundant planner effort.
only the inner-side relation would be considered as potential equijoin clauses,
which is wrong because the condition doesn't necessarily hold above the point
of the outer join. Per test case from Kevin Grittner (bug#1916).
In several places PL/Python was calling PyObject_Str() and then
PyString_AsString() without checking if the former had returned
NULL to indicate an error. PyString_AsString() doesn't expect a
NULL argument, so passing one causes a segmentation fault. This
patch adds checks for NULL and raises errors via PLy_elog(), which
prints details of the underlying Python exception. The patch also
adds regression tests for these checks. All tests pass on my
Solaris 9 box running HEAD and Python 2.4.1.
recovered. I did not see any actual leak while testing this in CVS tip,
but 8.0 definitely has a problem with leaking the space temporarily
palloc'd by BufferSync(). In any case this seems a good idea to forestall
similar problems in future. Per report from Arjen van der Meijden.
really the source or destination of the archive. I think this will
resolve recent complaints that password prompting is broken in pg_restore
on Windows. Note that password prompting and reading from stdin is an
unworkable combination on Windows ... but that was true anyway.
