PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.

The previous coding supposed that the first differing bytes in two varlena datums must have the same sign difference as their overall comparison result. This is obviously bogus for text strings in non-C locales, and probably wrong for numeric, and even for bytea I think it was wrong on machines where char is signed. When the assumption failed, the function could deliver a zero or negative penalty in situations where such a result is quite ridiculous, leading the core GiST code to make very bad page-split decisions. To fix, take the absolute values of the byte-level differences. Also, switch the code to using unsigned char not just char, so that the behavior will be consistent whether char is signed or not. Per investigation of a trouble report from Tomas Vondra. Back-patch to all supported branches.
