Thread: Debian bug report about multibyte in 7.3.3
Does anyone know this bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=204000 We should try to find out if this still errors before releasing 7.4, don't you think?

He may have 7.3.3 client libraries, but he must be talking to a server version between 7.3 and 7.3.2. I believe the bug probably is the same one reported/fixed here: 2003-04-20 13:37 tgl * src/backend/regex/regcomp.c (REL7_3_STABLE): Fix char-vs-pg_wcharconfusion in p_ere(), per failure report from Tom O'Dowd. This fixis not relevant to CVS tip anymore, but we should fix it in 7.3.*. which would mean that it is indeed fixed in 7.3.3. I suppose the reason Oliver never forwarded this report is he couldn't duplicate it... regards, tom lane

This is curious because the version numbers are automatically generated by reportbug and he gives no hint that he is talking to a different machine. However I verified that the assertion is at line 334 in the source code that the package was compiled from. > I believe the bug probably is the same one reported/fixed here: > > 2003-04-20 13:37 tgl > > * src/backend/regex/regcomp.c (REL7_3_STABLE): Fix char-vs-pg_wchar > confusion in p_ere(), per failure report from Tom O'Dowd.

I suppose the reason > Oliver never forwarded this report is he couldn't duplicate it... It's more because I was away at the time fetching my mother-in-law from Israel, so this bug never got dealt with at all :-( But I do have problems with these character set bugs, since it took a long time to find a way to see these characters correctly. I can confirm it does not happen in 7.4beta4 -- Oliver Elphick Oliver.Elphick@lfix.co.uk Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him and he shall bring it topass."

I will get into contact with the submitter and make sure he's not having problems with 7.3.3.
