    Split 'BufFile' routines out of fd.c into a new module, buffile.c. Extend · db3c4c3a
    Tom Lane authored
    BufFile so that it handles multi-segment temporary files transparently.
    This allows sorts and hashes to work with data exceeding 2Gig (or whatever
    the local limit on file size is).  Change psort.c to use relative seeks
    instead of absolute seeks for backwards scanning, so that it won't fail
    when the data volume exceeds 2Gig.
