Folks,

This is bad news as I run Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. However, my ubuntu 12.04 LTS
boxes have been updated to "3.5.0-32-generic" (official update). Any
idea whether the Postgresql has problems with this kernel? I'd like to
follow the "official" LTS updates because I am not sure what other
surprises I could face if I move to an unofficial one.

Thanks!
Nikhil
