I'm sorry I didn't mean to push myself in.  After all you've just met me so
you don'y know if you can trust me to not damage the source tree.  It's ok,
I understand. I would probably be reserved as you are in this circumstance.

BTW, congratulations for you dedication to the development of a capable
Open Source RDBMS.

Ok, I am downloading it now, so I can send you the patches with cvs diff -c
I presume.

I am trying to figure from cvs log if the problem referred above has been
fixed but I could not determine that because the log of changes since
1999-01-02 doesn't seem to mention any fixes for that explicitly.

I noticed that users of other platforms seem to have a similar problem.
Can you please tell if any progress was done regarding the mentioned
problem?

Regards,
Manuel Lemos
