> Fix character string comparison for Windows locales that consider
different character combinations as equal (Tom)
</P
><P
> This fix applies only on Windows and only when using UTF-8
database encoding. The same fix was made for all other cases
over two years ago, but Windows with UTF-8 uses a separate code
path that was not updated. If you are using a locale that
considers some non-identical strings as equal, you may need to

> A potential deadlock between concurrent <TT

>
operations on different system catalogs was introduced in 8.2.
This has now been corrected. 8.3 made this worse because the
deadlock could occur within a critical code section, making it
a PANIC rather than just ERROR condition.
</P

> Also, a <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"

vacuuming a system catalog could result in cache corruption in
concurrent database sessions.
