Pretty sure only after but it's hard to tell for sure. My trees for 971204
and 971222 both core dump on inserts to varchar, but I can't remember what
else I was doing with the trees at the time. v6.2.1p5 works OK on this:

postgres=> create table t (v varchar(80),i int);
CREATE
postgres=> insert into t values ('hi',1);
INSERT 142735 1
postgres=> select * from t;
v |i
--+-
hi|1
(1 row)
