While playing with this patch under 8.1.2 at home I discovered a
mistake in how I manually applied one of the hunks to fe-auth.c.
Basically, the base code had changed and so the patch needed to be
modified slightly. This is because the code no longer either has a
freeable pointer under 'name' or has 'name' as NULL.
The attached patch correctly frees the string from pg_krb5_authname
(where it had been strdup'd) if and only if pg_krb5_authname returned
a string (as opposed to falling through and having name be set using
name = pw->name;). Also added a comment to this effect.
Backpatch to 8.1.X.

This fixes a known bug where psql does not prompt for a password on some
Win32 systems.
Backpatch to 8.1.X.

then modified within the same transaction. The code was using a linked list
of active PLpgSQL_expr structs, which was OK when it was written because
plpgsql never released any parse data structures for the life of the backend.
But since Neil fixed plpgsql's memory management, elements of the linked list
could be freed, leading to crash when the list is chased. Per report and test
case from Kris Jurka.
by decompiling the typdefaultbin expression, not just printing the typdefault
text which may be out-of-date or assume the wrong schema search path. (It's
the same hazard as for adbin vs adsrc in column defaults.) The catalogs.sgml
spec for pg_type implies that the correct procedure is to look to
typdefaultbin first and consider typdefault only if typdefaultbin is NULL.
I made dumping of both domains and base types do that, even though in the
current backend code typdefaultbin is always correct for domains and
typdefault for base types --- might as well try to future-proof it a little.

in leaking memory when invoking a PL/Python procedure that raises an
exception. Unfortunately this still leaks memory, but at least the
largest leak has been plugged.
This patch also fixes a reference counting mistake in PLy_modify_tuple()
for 8.0, 8.1 and HEAD: we don't actually own a reference to `platt', so
we shouldn't Py_DECREF() it.
pgcrypto crypt()/md5 and hmac() leak memory when compiled against
OpenSSL as openssl.c digest ->reset will do two DigestInit calls
against a context. This happened to work with OpenSSL 0.9.6
but not with 0.9.7+.
Reason for the messy code was that I tried to avoid creating
wrapper structure to transport algorithm info and tried to use
OpenSSL context for it. The fix is to create wrapper structure.
It also uses newer digest API to avoid memory allocations
on reset with newer OpenSSLs.
Thanks to Daniel Blaisdell for reporting it.
we are not holding a buffer content lock; where it was, InterruptHoldoffCount
is positive and so we'd not respond to cancel signals as intended. Also
add missing vacuum_delay_point() call in btvacuumcleanup. This should fix
complaint from Evgeny Gridasov about failure to respond to SIGINT/SIGTERM
in a timely fashion (bug #2257).

allows unprivileged users to crash the server, if it has been compiled with
Asserts enabled. The escalation-of-privilege risk exists only in 8.1.0-8.1.2.
However, the Assert-crash risk exists in all releases back to 7.3.

Ok, so *that's* where the bit about the query plan being simple enough.
Based on that, ISTM that it should be premissable for us to decide that
a cursor requiring a sort isn't "simple enough" to support SCROLL.
In any case, here's a patch that makes the non-standard behavior easier
for people to find.

regardless of the current schema search path. Since CREATE OPERATOR CLASS
only allows one default opclass per datatype regardless of schemas, this
should have minimal impact, and it fixes problems with failure to find a
desired opclass while restoring dump files. Per discussion at
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg00284.php.
Remove now-redundant-or-unused code in typcache.c and namespace.c,
and backpatch as far as 8.0.
