Re: 7.3.2: test select_having ... FAILED

The select_having regression test fails pg 7.3.2 just as it did in
7.3.1. Upon inspection, the 7.3.2 code (select_having.sql) does not
include the "ORDER BY" clauses needed to pass the test. The CVS log
indicates you fixed the problem in rev 1.8 (the head) of
select_having.sql on 2003-11-21, but CVS shows the following tags:

REL7_3_2: 1.7
REL7_2_4: 1.4
REL7_3_STABLE: 1.7.0.2

This is not a functional problem, just a red herring. I don't
understand why this committed fix is not making its way into the
latest releases?

Thanks,
Ed
