requests of sizes that aren't powers of 2.  Per observation from
David Schultz, 28-Aug.

This was the last piece of code that took it upon itself to reset the
random number sequence --- now we only have srandom() in postmaster start,
backend start, and explicit setseed() operations.

recent gripe, I discovered not one but two undocumented, undesirable
behaviors of glibc's mktime.  So, stop using it entirely, and always
rely on inversion of localtime() to determine the local time zone.
It's not even very much slower, as it turns out that mktime (at least
in the glibc implementation) also does repeated reverse-conversions.

have a working stats collector.  This test is able to discover the
problem that was present in 7.4 Beta 2.

comments/examples in pg_hba.conf. This patch remedies that, adds a brief
explanation of the connection types, and adds a missing period in the
docs.

I had to make a further change to this to take quotes off the 'last
ANALYZE' in order for it to not overquote the relation name, so
there's a _little_ work left to get it to play well.

I have deployed it onto several boxes that should be doing some
vacuuming over the weekend, and it is now certainly hitting pg_
tables.

I would like to present a CVS-oriented patch; unfortunately, I had to
change the indentation patterns when editing some of it :-(.  The
following _may_ be good; not sure...

 *      use non-*_r function names if they are all thread-safe
 *          (NEED_REENTRANT_FUNCS=no)
 *      use *_r functions if they exist (configure test)
 *      do our own locking and copying of non-threadsafe functions

New to this patch is the last option.

Also a patch from Kris Jurka to correctly report SQLState support.

ps status as '[local]', not as 'localhost' as the code has been doing
recently.  That's too easily confused with TCP loopback connections,
and there is no good reason to change the behavior anyway.

to create a TCP/IP socket from FATAL to LOG.  This was unwise;
historically we have expected socket conflicts to abort postmaster
startup.  Conflicts on port numbers with another postmaster can only
be detected reliably at the TCP socket level.

to bypass the error, --without-spinlocks.

makes a few more small improvements to runtime.sgml, and makes some SGML
conventions more consistent.

> keywords for clarity.

Yeah, this is basically what I meant, sorry I didn't get to it quicker.

However, I tested it out a little and the patch you made doesn't work
because it produces commands like:

VACUUM ANALYZE "public.FooBar"

Which doesn't work, so I made my own patch that creates commands like:

VACUUM ANALYZE "public"."FooBar"

This allows for mixed case schema names as well as tables.

Adam, can you please give this a test as you are the person who caught
the bug in the first place.

Thanks,

Matthew T. O'Connor
