a backend core dump, because it was concatenating a potentially long
string onto another string that didn't necessarily have enough room.
Shame, shame.
Fixes a bug in the rule system that caused a crashing
backend when a join-view with calculated column is used
in subselect.
Modifies EXPLAIN to explain rewritten queries instead of
the plain SeqScan on a view. Rules can produce very deep

Here are two new patches for the Win32 support.
1) The patch based on the one from Hiroshi Inoue [Inoue@tpf.co.jp], to
load
Winsock.dll from libpq.dll.
2) A patch for psql.c to remove the call to WSAStartup(), since it is
not
required when it's done in libpq.dll.
I'm still looking for the possibility of having a crypt() function in
libpq.dll too, the same way getopt was included. Any chance of getting
this
before 6.4, or should we wait for the next one?

I don't know if this is really related to the initdb problem
discussion (haven't followed it enough). But seems so because
it fixes a damn problem during index tuple insertion on
CREATE TABLE into pg_attribute_relid_attnum_index.
Anyway - this bug was really hard to find. During startup the
relcache reads in some prepared information about index
strategies from a file and then reinitializes the function
pointers inside the scanKey data. But for sake it assumed
single attribute index tuples (hasn't that changed recently).
Thus not all the strategies scanKey entries where initialized
properly, resulting in invalid addresses for the btree
comparision functions.
With the patch at the end the regression tests passed
excellent except for the sanity_check that crashed at vacuum
and the misc test where the select unique1 from onek2 outputs
the two rows in different order.

if MULTIBYTE is not enabled. So be sure to run initdb.
o these patches are made against the latest source tree (after
Bruce's massive patch, I think) BTW, I noticed that after running
regression, the oid field of pg_type seems disappeared.
regression=> select oid from pg_type; ERROR: attribute
'oid' not found
this happens after the constraints test. This occures with/without
my patches. strange...
o pg_database_mb.h, pg_class_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h are no longer
used, and shoud be removed.
o GetDatabaseInfo() in utils/misc/database.c removed (actually in
#ifdef 0). seems nobody uses.

no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;
