John, Tom or anyone else,

is this a problem (are there any effects? do i lose
8.1 functionality or security?) do i need to monitor
when php5 incorporates 8.1 libpq and upgrade php again
or is it not too big a deal since my winxp service
claims to be pgsql 8.1.

ps - this is on my winxp dev box.

tia...
