where rightmost index page splits while we are waiting to obtain exclusive
lock on it. Not clear this would actually hurt (probably the callback
would always fail), but better safe than sorry.
Also, improve comments describing concurrency considerations in this code.

the zh_CN NLS patch is about 80K,
but sended twice and still can emerge on list.
so I've put it at:

If possible, please download it and apply it.

Here's a patch against *CVS tip* to address Peter's comments. Please let
me know what you think!

libpq.sgml
I was trying (but gave up) to cross-reference back to the input escape
table in the User's Guide, but could not get the documentation to
compile with a cross-book xref (missing IDREF error). Can a cross-book
xref be done?

failures on FreeBSD. This patch replaces uint -> unsigned.
This was reported by Daniel Holtzman against 0.4pre3 standalone
package, but it needs fixing in contrib/pgcrypto too.

Operators", plagiarized shamelessly from the "String Functions and
Operators" section. There were enough differences that it made sense (at
least to me) to give this its own section instead of cramming it in with
normal string functions. This way I could also make the examples
relevant, which is particularly important for bytea.
One thing I think worth mentioning: while documenting the trim()
function I realized that I never implemented the bytea equivalent of
rtrim and ltrim. Therefore, the 'leading' and 'trailing' forms of trim,
available with text, are not available with bytea (I'd be happy to
correct this, but since it would require an initdb, I guess not until
7.3) -- the submitted doc accurately reflects this.
I will look for other areas of the docs that need mention of bytea, but
any guidance would be much appreciated.

Here's a second bytea documentation patch. This one significantly
expands the "Binary Data" section added by Bruce recently.
