Hi there,

I upgrade "PostgreSQL 8.2.4 on i686-pc-mingw32, compiled by GCC gcc.exe
(GCC) 3.4.2 (mingw-special)" to "PostgreSQL 8.3.5, compiled by Visual C++
build 1400".

I found running a function which logs many logs has different behavior in 
command line comparing with the query window output pane of pgAdmin.

I found that many RAISE statements in a function no more
adds end of line (CR/LF) on every message, even if it contains chr(10)
explicitely. Just when the function ends, or inserting chr(10) in the middle
of the message a CR/LF is added in the log.

For instance consider the function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION r()
  RETURNS void AS
$BODY$begin
raise notice 'Break the 1st%line...', chr(10);
raise notice 'eol on 2nd line...%', chr(10);
raise notice '3rd line';
raise notice '4th line';
end; $BODY$
  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE
  COST 100;
ALTER FUNCTION r() OWNER TO postgres;

Run it:
    SELECT r()

On windows command prompt you get a right log:

  NOTICE:  Break the 1st
  line...
  NOTICE:  eol on 2nd line...

  NOTICE:  3rd line
  NOTICE:  4th line

But on pgAdmin output pane, you get a wrong log:

  NOTICE:  Break the 1st
  line...NOTICE:  eol on 2nd line...NOTICE:  3rd lineNOTICE:  4th line
