Probably! :)

The definition of extra_float_digits was made in float.c and the diff was sent
to the list and Tom before. I think its the one Tom refers below.
There were diff's to four files:

src/backend/utils/adt/float.c
src/backend/utils/misc/guc.c
src/bin/psql/tab-complete.c
src/backend/utils/misc/postgresql.conf.sample

Lots of mail in the list! ;)
Its done. The diff file to src/backend/utils/adt/geo_ops.c (to handle the
gemetry types) was sent some days ago. Its the one in the message where Bruce
says that extra_float_digits is not defined anywhere.

If you want I can send in the diff's again.

Best regards,
Pedro
