then why not add a check during configure(before compiling) to check if its a 32 or 64 bit machine.... in the past we have seen servers like DEC and Sun... which although 32 bit used to support much more memory.... although i can just give suggestion... its upto u to see whts good and whts not...

by the way i have started to like postgres.. it really roks... thx to all the developers :)
