Jean-Francois Leveque (leveque(at)webmails(dot)com) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
REVOKE ... FROM username equals REVOKE ... FROM PUBLIC

Long Description
System: SuSE 7.0
PostgreSQL RPM: postgres-7.0.2-29
select version(); :
PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc 2.95.2

When I revoke select from a user, it revokes select from other
users, database object owner included.

Sample Code

CREATE DATABASE
test:~ > psql bugcheck
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

bugcheck=> select * from bugtable;
bugcolumn

(0 rows)

bugcheck=> REVOKE SELECT ON bugtable FROM nobody;
