Already done. We never passed atttypmod to the backend before 6.4, so
the change it just to pass it or not pass it, and Tom already did that.
The fact that the internal length was 2 and is not 4 is not relevant
because we never passed it to the frontend in the past.
if (PG_PROTOCOL_MAJOR(FrontendProtocol) >= 2)
pq_putint(attrs[i]->atttypmod, sizeof(attrs[i]->atttypmod...
