No objections to changing the behavior. Have you checked whether there are any noticeable performance consequences? Back-patching seems a bit aggressive to me considering that the danger is hypothetical. I'd want to have some tangible evidence that back-patching was going help somebody. For all we know somebody's got an extension which they only use on Windows that happens to be relying on the current behavior, although more likely still (IMHO) is that it there is little or no code relying on either behavior. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
