Of course, Digital Unix is more important than QNX. For now I can live with
the solution to remove the escape backslashes from pg_dumpall.
But we should keep this problem in mind. Unix portable shell programming is
not a nice matter...

Oh, that makes my other message to hackers seem stupid.
The tradeoff seems to be support QNX or support Digital Unix. QNX is in
compliance with POSIX. All the code can't be easily rewritten to not use
the construct in question at all. (Although the PATHNAME stuff can be
yanked but then you need the right psql in your path.)
