#26217: postgresql84 8.4.4 Backported patch for data loss due to Apple libc bug on
array COPY import / export

Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1

----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
I recently reported a bug to the PostgreSQL project - see the thread here
for extensive discussion of the bug.
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2010-08/msg00292.php
The cause ended up being a bug in libc itself, but a workaround was
committed to PostgreSQL 9.0. The maintainer did not want to backport the
fix to 8.4.4. Since this bug still exists on 8.4.4 and is Mac-specific, I
thought it might be nice if MacPorts included the patch so that others do
not run into the same problem I did.
