you are correct and we've gone down that road. i build my db with 8.0.1,
and i've upgraded through to 8.0.5 as time went by and i never noticed an
issue with it until i went to bump to 8.1 today.
i've tried with and without the hier patch and neither seems to work. i
have a few options left to try but i might be reduced to stitching together
COPYs and system tables from an older backup.

It's the ideals of Linux and Open Source that are amazing, it embodies what
WE want, not what is marketed
