Thread: ftell mismatch with expected position
I found this thread (I'm posting here because I'm not subscribed to Hackers) http://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org/msg85241.html which seems to be talking about this issue. I'm just wondering what the current status on this is. Someone I know is getting this error -(I'm not 100% sure what version he's running other than it's an 8.2 series, although I am finding out. And yes it's definitely on Windows). Does he have to wait until 8.3? Will it be fixed in 8.3? Or is it fixed in the latest release? Any suggestions for a workaround? (I told him he can generate a Plain backup and compress the result using zip, rar, etc - will this work?) TIA -jcm

It is too risky to backpatch to 8.2.X. The fix is in current CVS, but again that is 8.3. > Any suggestions for a workaround?
