Serious Bugs
------------

(setproctitle()?, sendmail hack?)
pg_user dumps core on some platforms
have psql dump out rules text with new function
man pages/sgml synchronization
generate html/postscript documentation
generate postmaster pid file and remove flock/fcntl lock code
regproc dumps name_oid, which fails on CREATE TYPE
CREATE TABLE test (x text, s serial) fails if no database creation permission
SELECT * FROM pg_rules WHERE pg_rules.oid = pg_class.oid crashes
handle oid's on views by either disallowing it or meaningful results
certain AND/OR WHERE clauses crash backend
select not bool_field from t1 crashes
CREATE TABLE bar (id serial, name varchar(32)) fails
New Bugs
--------
cnf-ify still can exhaust memory, make SET KSQO more generic
permissions on indexes: what do they do? should it be prevented?
remove PARSEDEBUG defines if not longer needed
low level locking - work-in-progress for 6.5
improve reporting of syntax errors by showing location of error in query
use index with constants on functions
allow chaining of pages to allow >8k tuples
allow multiple generic operators in expressions without the use of parentheses
document/trigger/rule so changes to pg_shadow create pg_pwd
large objects orphanage
improve group handling
no min/max for oid type
