In order to address several critical issues that have been recently identified, we have tag'd and packaged up a v7.2.4 release of PostgreSQL, aimed at those unable to upgrade to the v7.3 code.
Major changes in this release are:
This release is backwards compability to the previous v7.2.x releases, and does not require a dump/restore to upgrade.

/pub/source/v7.2.4
