    Temporary fix for the problem that pg_stat_activity, inet_client_addr(), · dbb76935
    Tom Lane authored
    and inet_server_addr() fail if the client connected over a "scoped" IPv6
    address.  In this case getnameinfo() will return a string ending with
    a poorly-standardized "%something" zone specifier, which these functions
    try to feed to network_in(), which won't take it.  So that we don't lose
    functionality altogether, suppress the zone specifier before giving the
    string to network_in().  Per report from Brian Hirt.
    
    TODO: probably someday the inet type should support scoped IPv6 addresses,
    and then this patch should be reverted.
    
    Backpatch to 8.2 ... is it worth going further?
