                        POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE
============================================================================


Your name        : Tomasz Wegrzanowski
Your email address    : taw@users.sourceforge.net


Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------

In psql typelist help (\dT) macaddr is described:
 macaddr                  | XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, MAC address
40 bits total.
It should be:
 macaddr                  | XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, MAC address
48 bits total.

macaddr datatype works correctly (48-bit).

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, it's pretty obvious how to fix it.
Sorry for cutting of unused parts of the template.
You should write whether to cut them or left empty in bug.template comments.

Yup.  I have changed the pg_description entry for 7.1.1 ... but you
will not see the fix take effect unless you do an initdb.

            regards, tom lane

I went ahead and changed the pg_description entry for 7.1.1; there
doesn't seem to be any harm in that ...
