Great.

A follow-up patch for current CVS HEAD is attached, and available at
http://troels.arvin.dk/db/pgsql/conformance/pgsql-sql-conformance-
followup.patch

The patch
 - includes a core feature ID that had been left
   out by mistake (C011)
 - updates the sql_feature_packages.txt table to
   reflect changes in SQL:2003 which were not
   covered properly in my last patch

This was fixed in v1.21 of pg_autovacuum.c, That rev is tagged for
beta3, so you should not be seeing this issue unless you actually have
an older version for some reason.

It's not so much that it strips them (that happens automagically), more
that it doesn't re-add them when it writes the command line in the
registry. The attached patch fixes that by simply quoting all options
that may need it.

A -E <service> option is added in the attached patch.

the "ps" argument list on Unix - meaning that there is no way to
identify for example the stats processors or the bgwriter.

This patch adds this functionality, in a bit of a crufty way. It creates
a kernel Event object with the name of what would be in the title. This
can be viewed using for example Process Explorer.

It's been very handy for me during both debugging and using. I haven't
figured a better way, but perhaps someone has one that's less crufty? If
not, here is at least a working patch :-)

the xml2 contrib module. It's against 8.0beta4. It's intended for
commit.

very good practice IMHO, but apparently some people think so.

that readline must depend on libcurses, but it seems more recent ones
use libtermcap instead.  Allow that case.

reasons I outlined in pghackers a few days ago.

Also, undo someone's overly optimistic decision to reduce tuple state
checks from if (...) elog() to Asserts.  If I trusted this code more,
I might think it was a good idea to disable these checks in production
installations.  But I don't.

handles that, and make solaris debug use no optimization.

calling applications.  This is done by blocking sigpipe in the libpq
thread and using sigpending/sigwait to possibily discard any sigpipe we
generated.

Michael Fuhr. Along the way, fix a bunch of accesses to uninitialized
memory, add a mystrdup() routine and use it to cleanup some code.
