This particular hole has been in *every* release since Postgres 1.01.
I'm really not interested in responding to any argument that we cannot
release 7.3 until we have fixed everything that could be labeled a DOS
threat. 7.3 already contains a bunch of bug fixes; shall we postpone
releasing those because there are other unfixed bugs?
