We would also be very interested in it.

There are also a few things:

We are using postgres on 2 different platforms (Linux + SunOs) 
here for a about a year, have it in CVS an we've it patched a lot.

(minor bugs, changes (like "copy to,from"), stability enhancements, etc)

We also have a list of "don't use" here, like

hash indices		-> break postgres (reproducable)
the abstime type 	-> only seem to work without DST
some array statements	-> make the backend core-dump
records > 8K data	-> destroy the database with post mortem warning
etc ..

and we also extented some #defines like NBACKENDS and stuff for
large scale databases.

The question is:

Are there enough people interrested to do a (public) project kind of like 
Postgres95, where we could fix some major problems , extend the monster and 
add the fault tolerance needed for normal use ?
