What? Are you claiming that Pg.pm has a segfault problem in the same
area that DBD::Pg did? The code is sufficiently different that that
would surprise me considerably.

Zip. We do not ship DBD::Pg as part of the Postgres distribution, and
adding it now is not practical (makefile changes alone would create more
breakage risk than I care to consider).
If Edmund Mergl would like us to start shipping DBD::Pg in the
distribution, then I'd certainly consider that for 7.2 and later.
But right offhand, distributing it via CPAN seems to make more
sense, since you'd have to go to CPAN for DBI anyway...
