A critical fix repairs an error in ReadBuffer that can cause data loss
due to overwriting recently-added pages. This applies to the 8.1 and
8.0 branches on all platforms.
Note that this update might require a reindex of textual columns under
certain conditions; please see UPDATING.
Other fixes included are:
-- Character string locale comparison bug. This may require a REINDEX
on text column indexes in some locales, such as Hungarian.
-- Prevent accidental changes of locale by plperl
-- Two fixes for Japanese encodings
-- Two fixes for COPY CSV
-- Fixes for functions returning RECORD
-- Fixes to autovacuum, dblink and pgcrypto
installed, the patched gram.y file would not be used and the security
patch would be a no-op. Also, I've had reports of compilation errors
related to bison.
Since checking for the correct version of bison is hard and error
prone, I'm doing what the postgresql distribution does - patching the
yacc:ed .c file to get rid of the building dependency.
Bumping portrevision of -server.

Prevent overrunning a heap-allocated buffer if more than 1024
parameters to a refcursor declaration are specified. This is a
minimally-invasive fix for the buffer overrun.
Define LATEST_LINK to avoid package name clashes between the different
branches of PostgreSQL. [1] (Since postgresql-tcltk is hardwired to
branch 7.4, keep its LATEST_LINK to a generic value.)
Set UNIQUENAME and let it be the same for server & client, so each
branch's ports will share the same options file. This adds some no-op
knobs to the -client port, but IMO it is better this way.
Add space inside paranthesis in OSVERSION conditional to work around
(ancient) make bug. [2]
Remove the Rendez-Vouz knob for 8.0 since I can't find the software
needed to even compile it on FreeBSD.
Bump portrevision (for -server only).
