change functionality, but makes the code more ANSI C'ish.
My AIX xlc compiler barfs on all of these. Can someone please
review and apply to current.

in
different directories. The patch gave the option of specifying a dir
for
the tk script and if they were both in the same directory then it didn't
mind being empty. It's small so I'm including it. It was tested with
autoconf 2.12.

would be a Bad Thing.
For what it's worth, I found another case in libpq where you can get a T
message without a D that my utility patch needs to handle. I have
attached
the updated patch against the 6.4.2 version of
src/interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c

results in a bogus datetime value under AlphaLinux. (Note that
the link to submit a port-specific bug on your website is broken)
-Test Case:
----------
testdb=> create table dttest (dt datetime);
testdb=> insert into dttest values ('now');
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
---------
The basic problem is the typedefs of AbsoluteTime and RelativeTime,
which are both 'int32'. These types appear to be used synonymously
with the 'time_t' type, which on AlphaLinux is typedef'd as a 'long
int', which is 64-bits (not 32). The solution included here fixes
the datetime type (it now passes the regression test), but does not
pass the absolute and relative time regression tests. Presumably, a
more thorough investigation of how these types are used is warranted.
The included patch is from the v6.3.2 source, but can be applied to
the v6.4.2 source. Please note that there is also a RedHat-specific
patch distributed with the PostgreSQL source package from RedHat
that was applied first.

Just in case you'd like to see what I was talking about, I am
attaching
my patch to src/interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c to prevent utility functions
called from SPI from locking up the client.

working with postgresql-6.4.2 and KTH-KRB Ebones
(http://www.pdc.kth.se/kth-kr
b) on a dec alpha running DU 4.0D using the native compiler. The
following
patch does the trick.
The rationale behind this is as follows. The KTH-KRB code header files
defines
lots of lengths like INST_SZ,REALM_SZ and KRB_SENDAUTH_VLEN. It also has
a
habit of doing things like
chararray[LENGTH] = '\0'
to ensure null terminated strings. In my instance this just happens to
blat
the kerberos principal instance string leading to error like
pg_krb4_recvauth: kerberos error: Can't decode authenticator
(krb_rd_req
)
The application code that comes with KTH-KRB uses "KRB_SENDAUTH_VLEN +
1" and
sometimes uses "INST_SZ + 1" so it seems safest to put that 1 char
buffer in
the appropriate place.

All of them seem happy with the regression test. Note that, however,
compiling with optimization enabled on NetBSD/macppc causes an initdb
failure (other two platforms are ok). After checking the asm code, we
are suspecting that might be a compiler(egcs) bug.
