The patch from Andreas seems like a reasonable thing to me. I'm of two minds about 'loopback' --- it's perhaps logically cleaner than referring to 127.0.0.1, but do we want another special case? Also, do we really need it if we add Andreas' patch? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
