Translation updates

Revert previous patch to put the shared memory segment on win32

2008-10-30T17:04:11+00:00

in the Global\ namespace, because it caused permission errors on
a lot of platforms.

We need to come up with something better for 8.4, but for now
revert to the pre-8.3.4 behaviour.

Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2008i (DST law changes in

Argentina, Brazil, Mauritius, Syria).

Missing space in error message

2008-10-30T12:27:42+00:00

Improve new message

2008-10-30T08:51:13+00:00

Fix recoveryLastXTime logic so that it actually does what one would expect.

2008-10-30T04:06:25+00:00

Per gripe from Kevin Grittner.  Backpatch to 8.3, where the bug was introduced.

Install a more robust solution for the problem of infinite error-processing

2008-10-27T19:37:29+00:00

recursion when we are unable to convert a localized error message to the
client's encoding.  We've been over this ground before, but as reported by
Ibrar Ahmed, it still didn't work in the case of conversion failures for
the conversion-failure message itself :-(.  Fix by installing a "circuit
breaker" that disables attempts to localize this message once we get into
recursion trouble.

Patch all supported branches, because it is in fact broken in all of them;
though I had to add some missing translations to the older branches in
order to expose the failure in the particular test case I was using.

Better solution to the IN-list issue: instead of having an arbitrary cutoff,

2008-10-26T02:46:30+00:00

treat Var and non-Var IN-list items differently.  Only non-Var items are
candidates to go into an ANY(ARRAY) construct --- we put all Vars as separate
OR conditions on the grounds that that leaves more scope for optimization.
Per suggestion from Robert Haas.
