The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      3619
Logged by:          Guillaume 'ioguix' de Rorthais
Email address:      ioguix@free.fr
PostgreSQL version: all - cvs
Operating system:   Linux
Description:        Renaming sequence does not update its 'sequence_name'
field
Details:

When renaming a sequence, using ALTER SEQUENCE in pg8.3 or ALTER TABLE for
pg < 8.3, its sequence_name field is not updated.

Here is how to produce this bug (output from psql 8.3devel):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
pagila=# select sequence_name from actor_actor_id_seq_renamed;
   sequence_name
--------------------
 actor_actor_id_seq
(1 row)
pagila=# ALTER SEQUENCE actor_actor_id_seq RENAME TO
actor_actor_id_seq_renamed;
ALTER SEQUENCE
pagila=# select sequence_name from actor_actor_id_seq_renamed;
   sequence_name
--------------------
 actor_actor_id_seq
(1 row)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess the latest request should output actor_actor_id_seq_renamed,
shouldn't it ?
