Per gripe from Patrick Welche, 13-Oct-2002.

should be pretty safe in practice, but it's probably better to be safe
than sorry.

I was actually looking for cases where NAMEDATALEN is assumed to be
32, but only found one. That's fixed too, as well as a few bits of
code cleanup.

hex digits with no separators, eg 00AABBCCDDEE. This is easily remedied
with the following patch (against 7.2.1):

(char != unsigned char, Datum != uint32); make use of new hash code in
dynahash hash tables and hash joins.

varlena type.  (I did not force initdb, but you won't see the fix
unless you do one.)  Also, make sure all index support operators and
functions are careful not to leak memory for toasted inputs; I had
missed some hash and rtree support ops on this point before.

Remove hardcoded macaddr_manuf(), which had really old, obsolete info.
 Replace this with some contrib/mac/ code to maniag OUI info from IEEE.

on myself to do something about the non-self-consistency of the inet
comparison functions.  The results are probably still semantically wrong
(inet and cidr should have different comparison semantics, I think)
but at least the boolean operators now agree with each other and with
the sort order of indexes on inet/cidr.

now TOAST-able.

equality.  The lobits macro is wrong and extracts the wrong set of
bits out of the structure.

To exhibit the problem:

select '000000:000000'::macaddr = '000000:110000'::macaddr ;

debate was from Paul Vixie, who wanted INET to be the name covering
both IPV4 and IPV6.  The following kit makes the needed changes:
