postgresql84 8.4.4 Backported patch for data loss due to Apple libc bug on array COPY import / export

Port: postgresql84

Description

I recently reported a bug to the PostgreSQL project - see the thread here for extensive discussion of the bug.

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2010-08/msg00292.php

The cause ended up being a bug in libc itself, but a workaround was committed to PostgreSQL 9.0. The maintainer did not want to backport the fix to 8.4.4. Since this bug still exists on 8.4.4 and is Mac-specific, I thought it might be nice if MacPorts included the patch so that others do not run into the same problem I did.

That seems to me a very good idea, in order to get consistent results across platforms.

8.4 has been eol'd ages ago. As this bug doesn't exist in current versions anymore, upgrade has taken care of the problem.
