Cisco Systems fail

I've been using a network management tool for a number of years from
cisco to manage storage networking (fibre channel).  The thing is
called Fabric Manager and I was thrilled that they supported pg for the
backend when I first installed.  However, their latest and greatest is
frozen to pg 8.2.  Sigh.  I think they tripped over the datatypes not being
automatically cast to TEXT.  That's what spewed anyway when I tried it
to go around them.

Maybe there is porting opportunity for someone since they seem to have
lost their way:
