Fixed problem with pg_dump tar backups.  Only happens on platforms that
use our port/fseeko.c, which is currently BSD/OS and NetBSD.

to the character set docs where appropriate, and improve the postmaster
reference page. Character set cross-refs suggested by Gavin Kistner.

	    *result = getpwuid_r(uid, resultbuf, buffer, buflen);

listen_addresses parameter, as per recent discussion.  The default behavior
is now to listen on localhost, which eliminates the need for the -i
postmaster switch in many scenarios.

ensure that it actually passes data.  This catches cases such as a kernel
packet filter rule that makes the socket useless.

patch resolved) a new bug was uncovered when running with a debug level
of greater than 1.

This patch resolves this new found bug and fixes some of the other
debugging output to be more consistent.

Please apply to both HEAD and the 7.4 branch.

flesh out the index operator classes to include these.  In passing,
fix erroneous volatility marking of ACL functions.

errors in internally-generated queries, such as those submitted by
plpgsql functions.  Per recent discussions with Fabien Coelho.

in one query, rather than making a separate query for each object that
could have a comment.  This costs relatively little space (a few tens of
K typically) and saves substantial time in databases with many objects.
I find it reduces the runtime of 'pg_dump -s regression' by about a
third.

Not an issue for 7.4.X.

Backpatch to 7.4.X.  Required for Solaris 7 & 8.

is done at creation time for plpgsql functions.  Improve createlang and
droplang to support adding/dropping validators for PLs.  Initial steps
towards producing a syntax error position from plpgsql syntax errors
(this part is a work in progress, and will change depending on outcome
of current discussions).

of fighting it, avoid hard-wired (and wrong) assumption about max length
of prefix, cause %l to actually work as documented, don't compute data
we may not need.

Make open/close loop testings the same.  Add descriptions for certain tests.

	Compare fsync before and after write's close:
	Compare one o_sync write to two:
	Compare file sync methods with one 8k write:
	Compare file sync methods with 2 8k writes:

same when done on the write() ile descriptor and a new descriptor.

it also times various fsync methods.
