pgadmin from 9.0RC1 in 8.2.4 status cannot cast type xid to text error

From
"Andrus"
Date:
I ran PgAdmin from 9.0RC1 in windows and selected

Tools/Server status for 8.2.4 server

After that messagebox with error

---------------------------
pgAdmin III
---------------------------
An error has occurred:

ERROR:  cannot cast type xid to text
LINE 1: SELECT transaction::text, gid, prepared, owner, database FRO...
                            ^
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

occurs after every few seconds
After some time there are hundreds of messageboxes in screen.
Message boxes continue to apper even if status window is closed.

How to fix ?

I can't help with the cast error, but you can reduce the frequency with
which pgAdmin reloads the server status - in the toolbar at the top,
there's a drop-down combo with various refresh rates. This will at least
stop all those error dialogs popping up, and give you a chance to fix
the real problem. :-)

Run pgAdmin 1.12.1, not a release candidate.
