In order that we can get a few days of testing on these, make sure the
packaging is right and whatnot, we are holding off on a formal release
until early->mid next week ...

I've just put pre-release tar balls into:

	ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v7.0.3

Please take a minute to download and test these out, so that when we
release, we don't get a bunch of "oops, you forgot this" messages :)

Thanks ...

I've tried it on a couple of platforms:

IRIX 6.5.5m, MIPSpro 7.3.

  Configure detection of accept() is working.

  Several regression tests fail.  Two patches that I'd submitted to
  fix these on IRIX have not been applied:

    2000-08-18: Update tests/regress/resultmap for IRIX 6
    2000-10-12: Regression tests - expected file for IRIX geometry test

AIX 4.3.2, xlc 3.6.6.

  Same regression test failures as 7.0.2.
  The nasty failures are triggers, misc, and plgpgsql which
  consistently give "pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel
  unexpectedly." at the same point.  Also the sanity_check hangs
  during a VACUUM.  Killing the backend was the only way to continue.

Re: v7.0.3 *pre-release* ...
My guess is that your patches are in current, but not in this
subrelease.  We only put in show-stopper fixes.
