Seems mighty fragile to me. Well the absolute correct solution would involve all of: int8, int16, int32, int64 and separately uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64 The previous patch grouped: int8, int16 and int32 uint8, uint16 and uint32 int64 and uint64 <-- this grouping is wrong on AIX 4.3.3 and below If you prefer to make 4 groups out of this you could apply this patch.

OK, I backed out your previous patch and applied this one.

I wanted to test the new patches on AIX 5L but the cvs server seem to reject me (it worked till yesterday).

I fixed it by changing my .cvspass to use postgresql.org instead of cvs.postgresql.org and used CVS to attach to that. Marc, any idea why I needed to do that? -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
