Just a missing feature. The code additions would be trivial --- but
would require an initdb to add the catalog entries. I'm loath to do it
so close to beta.

Yes, that's what changed. Perhaps change the code to look like (select count(*)::integer ...
On the other hand, that's no answer for people trying to load existing
dump files into 7.2.
Perhaps we should just do another catalog update and not worry about it.
We just had one earlier this week, so I suppose another wouldn't make
all that much difference. Comments?
