What is your compiler? I'm using gcc 4.6.2. I refactored the patch so I'm now
using XLogRecPtr and %X.

Ugh? I can't reproduce that. It seems to be related to long int used by the
prior version.

Fixed.

I realized that it collides with the pg_size_pretty(int8) if we don't specify
a type. Hence, I decided to drop the pg_size_pretty(int8) in favor of
pg_size_pretty(numeric). It is slower than the former but it is not a
performance critical function.

Ops. Fixed.
