Understandable. Next time they will be in a much cleaner format.

Ok, I follow now, thanks for the clarification. The patch to the
Alpha S_LOCK code is the only patch I have at this time. I guess I should
have been clearer about the datetime problems. I do not have even a
prospective patch for those problems at this time, or plan to have the
time to even begin such a patch for at least a week or two. When I do get
such a patch, I will make sure to have a few other Linux/Alpha people test
it, as well as test what it does to a Linux/Intel compile of pgsql before
I post it to be added to the CVS tree.
The alpha S_LOCK patch only affected a single OS, and thought it
would be rather safe. Next time I will try and get it in earlier (last
week or two has been hectic with school :( ). Thanks for your
understanding. TTYL.
