+On AIX 5.3 ML3 (e.g. maintenance level 5300-03), there is some problem
+with the handling of the pointer to memcpy.  It is speculated that
+this relates to some linker bug that may have been introduced between
+5300-02 and 5300-03, but we have so far been unable to track down the
+cause.
+
+At any rate, the following patch, which "unwraps" the function
+reference, has been observed to allow PG 8.1 pre-releases to pass
+regression tests.
+
+The same behaviour (albeit with varying underlying functions to
+"blame") has been observed when compiling with either GCC 4.0 or IBM
+XLC.

+
+The following patch works on the AIX 5.3 ML3 box here and didn't cause
+any problems with postgres on the x86 desktop.  It's just a cleaner
+version of what I tried earlier.
