Well, I can't tell what you should do :-) I made it in response to this:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2003-06/msg00296.php

The patch is not very important, it works fine without. It's just that the
docs of libpq says that you are not allowed to change the things you get
back from it. And psql was doing that. In practice it's not a problem
since it happens to work anyway.

Tha plans to (try to) solve the charset problems I've put on hold until
after the release since people seems to be busy at the moment (which is
understandable since the freeze is coming up). If you have a unicode
database you just have to run the non translated psql also in 7.4.
