Thread: i'll promise, i'll be polite :-)

Hi.
This post certainly contains no valuable information,
but i feel i should clarify some points.

1) I like postgresql and i worked with it for a long time.
2) Solution like "killall -9 postmaster" was just a joke.
3) ...Hm..i forgot...maybe later ...

First, it is good you found the problems.

However, you really should have notified the developers first.  And giving 
joke advice as a solution isn't the height of responsibility.  I have taken 
the liberty of addressing that issue on BugTraq, if it passes moderation.

Having said that, I personally look forward to you telling us about problems 
you find, and helping audit this codebase.  After all, if you found it 
someone else can too.

But I hope you don't suffer too much for the repercussions that will 
undoubtedly be voiced here -- you did, afterall, make somewhat of a 'splash' 
when diving in.  :-)
