Thank you for your tests again. Attached are both of delta from the
previous and the whole version agains today's HEAD. Note that HEAD has
changed pg_class.h, which conflicted with my local repository so if
you try it update your local with HEAD and apply the patch. Though,
the delta one seem to be applicable without sync.
