Considering that we haven't even gone BETA yet, I *heavily* second this
... Alfred, so far as I've seen, has a) spent alot of time on these
patches and b) tried to address any concerns as they've been presented
concerning them...

IMHO, if we hadn't commit'd the patches, we wouldn't have found the bug,
and getting feedback on the pathes without applying them, so far, has been
about as painful as pulling teeth ...

>From what I've seen, nobody has been spending much time in libpq *anyway*,
so it isn't as if reverting them if we have to is a big issue ...

But, on the other side of hte coin ... Alfred, we need relatively quick
turnaround on fixing this, as libpq is kinda crucial :)
