Well, don't kill the messenger.

I think its more interesting that Postgres is the default database for
OS X Server, and the Postgres tools are loaded on OS X clients. It
begs the question, how did Postgres pass Apple's acceptance tests when
it can't pass its own self tests without crashing?

Did Apple supply any patches or file any bug reports? Or is Apple
omitting acceptance checks?
