I was running 6.4.2 but it had a terrible memory and/or table leak that
made it unuseable--one table got to 1GB the last week I used 6.4.2, with
only a few MB of real data. Vacuum was crashing, pg_dump was crashing, the
backend was dying. I had to go to 6.5b, which fortunately seems to have
fixed the exploding table problem.

Beta does sound more reliable than alpha.
