This is a known issue on NT4 with the release. I have just submitted a patch that will fix this. If you need it urgently, you can get new binaries from http://www.hagander.net/pgsql/nt4bin.zip. But *BEWARE*. These binaries carry *incorrect version numbers*. If you install them, you *must* remove them manually before you install 8.0.1, because they will *NOT* be upgraded by the installer. Another workaround is to back out to a previous RC which does not contain this functionality at all. //Magnus

I have already adapted postgres to my requirements. That's why i can not use your binaries. Now, i will simulate this function to avoid the misfeature. :o) I am a lazy developer.
