Red Hat stopped supporting the RHEL-4 App Stack product awhile ago;
since CentOS is evidently copying that, you should not hold your
breath waiting for an update :-(. However, as far as I can see
the RHEL-5 SRPM should be completely compatible with RHEL-4 ---
so just grab the 8.1.18 SRPM from RHEL-5 and rebuild it locally.
Or use Devrim's RPMs from postgresql.org (I think he has a build
of 8.1.x for RHEL-4, though I could be wrong).
