backend

  o  A new patch that contains the following changes:
        -- The pg_pwd file is now cached in the postmaster's memory.
        -- pg_pwd is reloaded when the postmaster detects a flag file creat()'ed
           by a backend.
        -- qsort() is used to sort loaded password entries, and bsearch() is
           is used to find entries in the pg_pwd cache.
        -- backends now copy the pg_user relation to pg_pwd.pid, and then
           rename the temp file to be pg_pwd.
        -- The delimiter for pg_pwd has been changed to a tab character.
