I notice that we now have four buildfarm members failing in the 8.1
branch, with symptoms indicating that they are running python 2.5,
which pre-8.2 plpython has known incompatibilities with. I think
it's high time we back-patched those compatibility fixes ... they've
been in the field long enough in 8.2 and 8.3 that the argument that they
pose a breakage risk seems pretty weak. Comments?
(BTW, the only reason 8.0 and 7.4 aren't failing likewise is that
there's no automated regression test for the PLs in those branches.)
