Re: Strange problem when upgrading to 7.2 with pg_upgrade.

This is a good bug report. I can fix pg_upgrade by adding clog files
containing zeros to pad out to the proper length. However, my guess is
that most people have already upgrade to 7.2.X, so there isn't much
value in fixing it now. I have updated pg_upgrade CVS for 7.3, and
hopefully we will have it working and well tested by the time 7.3 is
released.

Compressed clog was new in 7.2, so I guess it is no surprise I missed
that change in pg_upgrade. In 7.3, pg_clog will be moved over from the
old install, so this shouldn't be a problem with 7.3.

Thanks for the report. Sorry I don't have a fix.
