I was able to crash postgres 6.5.3 when I did an 'alter user' command.
After I started a debugger I found the problem in the timezone handling
of
datetime (my Linux box lost its timezone information, that's how the

A few other CVS "householding" things you might want to take care of:

in
scripts/.

Meanwhile I am still puzzled about what happened with the docs patch.
