this a test for specific AIX versions, but I don't know which ones need it.

MemSet on AIX by setting MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT to zero.

Add optimization to skip MemSet tests in MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT == 0 case and
just call memset() directly.

assuming it always is on Darwin.  Per report from Neil Brandt.

It seems that recent gcc versions can optimize away calls to these functions
even when the functions do not exist on the platform, resulting in a bogus
positive result.  Avoid this by using a non-constant argument and ensuring
that the function result is not simply discarded.  Per report from
François Laupretre.

to 'Size' (that is, size_t), and install overflow detection checks in it.
This allows us to remove the former arbitrary restrictions on NBuffers
etc.  It won't make any difference in a 32-bit machine, but in a 64-bit
machine you could theoretically have terabytes of shared buffers.
(How efficiently we could manage 'em remains to be seen.)  Similarly,
num_temp_buffers, work_mem, and maintenance_work_mem can be set above
2Gb on a 64-bit machine.  Original patch from Koichi Suzuki, additional
work by moi.

of special case for Windows port.  Put a PG_TRY around most of createdb()
to ensure that we remove copied subdirectories on failure, even if the
failure happens while creating the pg_database row.  (I think this explains
Oliver Siegmar's recent report.)  Having done that, there's no need for
the fragile assumption that copydir() mustn't ereport(ERROR), so simplify
its API.  Eliminate the old code that used system("cp ...") to copy
subdirectories, in favor of using copydir() on all platforms.  This not
only should allow much better error reporting, but allows us to fsync
the created files before trusting that the copy has succeeded.

Allow kerberos name and username case sensitivity to be specified from
postgresql.conf.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here's an updated version of the patch, with the following changes:

1) No longer uses "service name" as "application version". It's instead
hardcoded as "postgres". It could be argued that this part should be
backpatched to 8.0, but it doesn't make a big difference until you can
start changing it with GUC / connection parameters. This change only
affects kerberos 5, not 4.

2) Now downcases kerberos usernames when the client is running on win32.

3) Adds guc option for "krb_caseins_users" to make the server ignore
case mismatch which is required by some KDCs such as Active Directory.
Off by default, per discussion with Tom. This change only affects
kerberos 5, not 4.

4) Updated so it doesn't conflict with the rendevouz/bonjour patch
already in ;-)
