I have not... I would glance over the patches if I could find them
(mailing list archive search turned up nothing or error messages). If some
one could forward them to me, I will give them a quick look over.
Most of the Linux/Alpha patches have to do with replacing int8,
int16, int32, and absoluteTime (not sure on the spelling of the last) to
Datum when passing to functions. Not 100% what that does, but seems to
solve a number of data corruption problems in passing data through the
utility adt functions. I plan to figure out more specificly what is going
on, but first I need to graduate from college. :)
