Apologies. Turns out the name of the relevant setting was changed for 8.3! So a revised patch is attached.

For backing, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/release-8-3.html
" Numerous changes in administrative server parameters...
stats_block_level and stats_row_level are merged into track_counts."

It is an alternative to the prior patch, which supplied a --no-stats flag.

This is a documentation only patch, not tied to a recent code change.


Patch applied, with spelling correction already noted.
