AW: [HACKERS] PostgreSQL v6.4 BETA2...

The problem is probably that the functions incorrectly return text *
but use it like char *. text * is a varlena

e.g. text *inet_netmask in inet.c
eighter must be char *inet_netmask or correctly use macros VARDATA and VARSIZE

What about the inet stuff. I'm just waiting for Paul's inet_cidr*
functions to test and submit the final stuff. As it stand it will
crash the backend if you use it. I guess that makes it a bug fix,
right?

I'll submit the builtins.h changes in the meantime. Perhaps I can
cobble up my own version of the inet_cidr* functions at least to
be able to test my functions.
