Tom,

if you look into previous patch we sent (patch_72_systbl.gz)
you could find patch for ./src/backend/catalog/index.c which
is exact implementation of what 'seems to you' :-)
Teodor thought you don't like this idea and he moved functionality to
initGISTstate. But he'd prefer his original implementation.
So, if you have no objection, we could prepare NEW patch to
current CVS with old implementation.
