Hi Tom!   It is PG 7.0.2-17. This problem doesn't concern me personally, I can't
even repeat it - everything works fine for me. I was just asked to solve it.
Well, we would like our application to be compatible with PG 7.0 so I need
to track this behaviour. Do you have a clue when PG could write anything to
a view file and where I can find it in source tree?
