OK, thx, I may give that a brief try before reconsidering upgrade.  

On a related topic, while looking into oddities of an HP-UX iexpress bundle 
install of pgsql that had ".../lib/hpux32" and ".../lib/hpux64" 
directories, we noticed the following:

$ file `which psql`
/opt/pgsql/postgresql-8.0.0beta1/bin/psql:     ELF-32 executable object file 
- IA64

This is the same for *many* of the executables in /bin.  Does this mean it 
is a 32-bit executable?  Does it also, therefore, mean that is not taking 
advantage of the 64-bit hardware?  If so, is there something special I need 
to pass to pgsql's configure to get it to build 64-bit executables to fully 
exploit this expensive hardware?

TIA.
