7.3 is too old to know that freebsd beyond 4.x doesn't suffer from the
float8-small-is-zero syndrome.
This is only a one-line change in resultmap, so I patched it (please
check that it works now!). In general, though, this is just another
data point in support of my previous opinion that trying to keep old
branches up-to-date with platforms that are moving targets isn't a very
sane goal. Why would someone be using an old database on a current
kernel?
