Thanks, Tom -:))

But it seems that Purify (etc) would be very usefull
in pg_user bug. (Imho, Purify could also help with
indexing bug!)

I finally compiled 6.4-current on SPARC/Solaris 2.5.1
(gcc 2.7.2.1) but unfortunately I can't reproduce
pg_user bug here -:(

So, I would like to switch to primary/foreign/unique key
infos...
