Tom Lane a75a418d07 Clean up dubious code in contrib/seg.
The restore() function assumed that the result of sprintf() with %e format
would necessarily contain an 'e', which is false: what if the supplied
number is an infinity or NaN?  If that did happen, we'd get a
null-pointer-dereference core dump.  The case appears impossible currently,
because seg_in() does not accept such values, and there are no seg-creating
functions that would create one.  But it seems unwise to rely on it never
happening in future.

Quite aside from that, the code was pretty ugly: it relied on modifying a
static format string when it could use a "*" precision argument, and it
used strtok() entirely gratuitously, and it stripped off trailing spaces
by hand instead of just not asking for them to begin with.

Coverity noticed the potential null pointer dereference (though I wonder
why it didn't complain years ago, since this code is ancient).

Since this is just code cleanup and forestalling a hypothetical future
bug, there seems no need for back-patching.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
