As far as i now, we used the 7.0 versions some month after their
release. So: no.
When i look in, i see in the welcome message:
FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE (GENERIC) #1: Fri Aug 15 19:33:13 CEST 2008

That are 6 months after initial release of 7.0.

I'm running a development *jail* at the *same* machine like the
live-database. The live-database works greats. There is also a second
jail were a postgresql-instance is running. In both i can use Postgresql
(versions 8.3 and 8.4) without any limitations. But in the third-jail i
get the problems.
