and hash bucket-size estimation. Issue has been there awhile but is more
critical in 7.4 because it affects varchar columns. Per report from
Greg Stark.
pg_autovacuum looses track of any table that's ever been truncated
(possibly other situations too). When i truncate a table it gets a
new relfilenode in pg_class. This is a problem because pg_autovacuum
assumes pg_class.relfilenode will join to pg_stats_all_tables.relid.
pg_stats_all_tables.relid is actallly the oid from pg_class, not the
relfilenode. These two values start out equal so pg_autovacuum works
initially, but it fails later on because of this incorrect assumption.
This patch fixes that problem. Applied to HEAD and 7.4.X.

not initialized if a log file is not specified on the command line. This
causes an immediate segfault on systems that fill allocated memory with some
value other than zero (my FreeBSD machine uses 0xD0).
Several crashes later I discovered that args->user, password, host, and port
are also used without being initialized.
This doesn't appear to be fixed in CVS and I came up empty on a mailing list
search -- hope it hasn't been reported already.

Ward's report that it can still happen in RC2 forces me to realize that
this is not a can't-happen condition after all, and that the compaction
code had better cope rather than panicking.
Vars created to fill subplan args lists. This is an ancient error, going
back at least to 7.0, but is more easily triggered in 7.4 than before
because we no longer compare varlevelsup when deciding whether a Param
slot can be re-used. Fixes bug reported by Klint Gore.
per report from Andrew Holm-Hansen. The difficulty arises from the fact
that the planner allowed a Hash node's hashkeys to share substructure
with the parent HashJoin node's hashclauses, plus some rather bizarre
choices about who initializes what during executor startup. A cleaner
but more invasive solution is to not store hashkeys separately in the
plan tree at all, but let the HashJoin node deconstruct hashclauses
during executor startup. I plan to fix it that way in HEAD.
tree for CYCLE option; don't assume zeros are invalid values for sequence
fields other than increment_by; don't reset cache_value when not told to;
simplify code for testing whether to apply defaults.
which had been unintentionally broken by recent changes to tighten up the
DateStyle rules for all-numeric date input. Add documentation and
regression tests for this, too.
