(picking up an old thread while at a boring wait at the airport.. anyway)
I keep trying to think of more nad better ways to do this :-) Perhaps we
should put some text on the bug reporting form (and in the documentation
about bug reporting) that's basically "don't bother reporting a bug
unless you're on the latest in a branch, and at least make sure you're
on one of the maojr releases listed on www.postgresql.org"?
Seems reasonable?
