Please pull this patch. It breaks JDBC1 support. The JDBC1 code no

longer compiles, due to objects being referenced in this patch that do
not exist in JDK1.1.

Barry Lind
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The JDBC driver requires

  permission java.net.SocketPermission "host:port", "connect";

in the policy file of the application using the JDBC driver
in the postgresql.jar file.  Since the Socket() call in the
driver is not protected by AccessController.doPrivileged() this
permission must also be granted to the entire application.
