error message, by using PQconnectionUsedPassword() instead.  Someday
we might be able to localize that error message, but not until this
coding technique has disappeared everywhere.

- Prevent the -w option being passed to the postmaster.
- Read the postmaster options file when starting as a Windows service.

are initialized with a string literal. Patch from Stefan Huehner.

Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

back-stamped for this.

Call setrlimit if possible in pg_regress to allow core file generation, and provide a switch for similar behaviour in pg_ctl.

No, I do not care whether Coverity considers this a memory leak.
It's entirely not worth the code space to do it correctly.

opposed to what other versions apparently do, so it's not safe to print an
error message.  Besides, getopt_long itself already did, so it's redundant
anyway.

symlink is kept for now for compatibility.  To call single-user mode, use
postgres --single.

comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory.  Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).

Backpatch to 8.1.X.

pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp ... but I see some of the former have
crept back in.
Eternal vigilance is the price of locale independence, apparently.

Add missing plperl include.

unlike template0 and template1 does not have any special status in
terms of backend functionality.  However, all external utilities such
as createuser and createdb now connect to "postgres" instead of
template1, and the documentation is changed to encourage people to use
"postgres" instead of template1 as a play area.  This should fix some
longstanding gotchas involving unexpected propagation of database
objects by createdb (when you used template1 without understanding
the implications), as well as ameliorating the problem that CREATE
DATABASE is unhappy if anyone else is connected to template1.
Patch by Dave Page, minor editing by Tom Lane.  All per recent
pghackers discussions.

so that restart doesn't fail when old postmaster died unbetimes.

postmaster.pid still represents a live postmaster.

implementation doesn't export out via libpq and get used by a user
application.

macros around strings that were missing them.

Tag appropriate files for rc3

Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...
