I've attached a patch which should fix these problems.

diffs to 7.3-devel and may not be applicable to 7.2. I have included a
change covered by a previous bugfix patch I submitted (the problem with
-.1 not being accepted by cube_in). It does not include a fix for the
potential buffer overrun issue I reported for cube_yyerror in
cubeparse.y.

connections by the superuser only.

This patch replaces the last patch I sent a couple of days ago.

It closes a connection that has not been authorised by a superuser if it would
leave less than the GUC variable ReservedBackends
(superuser_reserved_connections in postgres.conf) backend process slots free
in the SISeg. This differs to the first patch which only reserved the last
ReservedBackends slots in the procState array. This has made the free slot
test more expensive due to the use of a lock.

After thinking about a comment on the first patch I've also made it a fatal
error if the number of reserved slots is not less than the maximum number of
connections.

TOAST tables that belong to system tables.

This is currently a cosmetic difference but I make the change now in case
the macros diverge one day.

other changes.
