One thing I did forget to mention, is that I am getting a decent
handful of unaligned traps from postmaster. To put a number on that, from
running the regression tests three times, once with numeric_big enabled, I
got ~164 unaligned traps.
Not a show stopper, but something that probably needs to looked
into at some point in order to maximize performance of pgsql on Alphas.

I will pass the patches on to the Debian people and see what their
experience is with them. I know they have a handful of patches they
already apply to pgsql as it is (mostly reorganization of files I think),
so to add one more won't cause them too much more trouble for the time
being.

And something similar for the debian packages as well. I will make
sure the debian peple get the patches, though I will leave the
responsiblity of getting the patches to the redhat people to someone else.
:) TTYL.
