Hi Tom,
Thanks for the hint, I'll give that a go later today or tomorrow and see
if that fixes the problem. Incidentally, I did try looking for a
changelog for 7.3.2 to see if there were any known issues that had been
fixed since 7.3.1, but it appears that the release notes pages in the
documentation have not been updated since the release of 7.3 (see
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=release.

Cheers,
Mark.
