Thread: pg_stat_reset not resetting all stats

Is there a reason that pg_stat_reset doesn't reset the stats in
pg_stat_bgwriter and pg_stat_database?  PG 8.3 (obviously).

The call to pg_stat_reset works, as my other stats tables are clear.

It is only supposed to reset counters associated with the current
database.  Those counts are cluster-wide.
