I was wondering whether we shouldn't revert the original patch
altogether in the back branches.  As far as I'd heard, there were
no reports of the previous coding causing real trouble, and this
episode demonstrates that there is a possibility to make things
worse rather than better.  I think maybe we'd better treat this
change as something to make in HEAD only.

            regards, tom lane
