to 'Size' (that is, size_t), and install overflow detection checks in it.
This allows us to remove the former arbitrary restrictions on NBuffers
etc.  It won't make any difference in a 32-bit machine, but in a 64-bit
machine you could theoretically have terabytes of shared buffers.
(How efficiently we could manage 'em remains to be seen.)  Similarly,
num_temp_buffers, work_mem, and maintenance_work_mem can be set above
2Gb on a 64-bit machine.  Original patch from Koichi Suzuki, additional
work by moi.

idea on consistency grounds, whether or not it really fixes bug #1831.

insufficient paranoia in code that follows t_ctid links.  (We must do both
because even with VACUUM doing it properly, the intermediate state with
a dangling t_ctid link is visible concurrently during lazy VACUUM, and
could be seen afterwards if either type of VACUUM crashes partway through.)
Also try to improve documentation about what's going on.  Patch is a bit
bulky because passing the XMAX information around required changing the
APIs of some low-level heapam.c routines, but it's not conceptually very
complicated.  Per trouble report from Teodor and subsequent analysis.
This needs to be back-patched, but I'll do that after 8.1 beta is out.

the right to stand out.

or OFFSET clauses by using estimate_expression_value().  The main advantage
of this is that if the expression is a Param and we have a value for the
Param, we'll use that value rather than defaulting.  Also, fix some
thinkos in the logic for combining LIMIT/OFFSET with an externally
supplied tuple fraction (this covers cases like EXISTS(...LIMIT...)).
And make sure the results of all this are shown by EXPLAIN.  Per a
gripe from Merlin Moncure.

Fix to_char(interval) to return large year/month/day/hour values that
are larger than possible timestamp values.
Prevent to_char(interval) format specifications that make no sense, like
Month.
Clean up formatting.c code to more logically handle return lengths.

AbortTransaction.  This can happen if a backend's InitPostgres transaction
fails (eg, because the given username is invalid).  Per Alvaro.

their OID parameter.  It was possible to crash the backend with
select array_in('{123}',0,0); because that would bypass the needed step
of initializing the workspace.  These seem to be the only two places
with a problem, though (record_in and record_recv don't have the issue,
and the other array functions aren't depending on user-supplied input).
Back-patch as far as 7.4; 7.3 does not have the bug.

working state, not fcinfo->context.  Silly oversight on my part in last
go-round of fixes.

(the stats system has always collected this info, but the views were
filtering it out).  Modify autovacuum so that over-threshold activity
in a toast table can trigger a VACUUM of the parent table, even if the
parent didn't appear to need vacuuming itself.  Per discussion a month
or so back about "short, wide tables".

Also make tab completion fetch the list of GUC variables from pg_settings
instead of having a hard-wired copy of the list (Tom Lane).
