Can somebody tell me what the problem with this is.  For some
reason, Postgres 4.1 seems to dislike attribute names of 16
characters, when I try to retrieve.

* create kk(abcdefghijklmnop = int2)
\g

Query sent to backend is "create kk(abcdefghijklmnop = int2) "
CREATE
Go
* append kk(abcdefghijklmnop = 30)
\g

Query sent to backend is "append kk(abcdefghijklmnop = 30) "
APPEND 39196
Go
* retrieve (kk.all)
\g

Query sent to backend is "retrieve (kk.all) "
Error: Unexpected identfier in dump_data:

It then crashes out from the monitor.

Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Cheers

Dave Nelson

there were tons of places where the server did not correctly
handle 16-character names.  marc teitelbaum made an attempt 
to fix as many of these as possible for 4.2.
