Hey yep, good point.

Is this the only way that we know of non postgresql-superusers to be
able to take out the server other than by extremely non-optimal,
resource wasting queries?

If we release a 7.2.2 because of this, can we be pretty sure we have a
"no known vulnerabilities" release, or are there other small holes which
should be fixed too?

:-)

Regards and best wishes,
