Not bad, eh? I'm the one that creates the TAGS, and I don't even use the
wrong one...glad I got a "second opinion" on this before I put out a
release announcement *grin*

Fixing now ... there, new, and proper one, built ... *sheepish grin*

it seems to be the "in thing" nowadays to include an MD5 signature, so
here it is:

MD5(postgresql-6.5.3.tar.gz)= cf921a8aa2adc846a13e019ce920c83a

its in the postgresql-6.5.3.tar.gz.md5 file on the ftp site too...
