+ Make <function>pg_get_ruledef()</> parenthesize negative constants (Tom)
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Before this fix, a negative constant in a view or rule might be dumped
+ as, say, <literal>-42::integer</>, which is subtly incorrect: it should
+ be <literal>(-42)::integer</> due to operator precedence rules.
+ Usually this would make little difference, but it could interact with
+ another recent patch to cause
+ <productname>PostgreSQL</> to reject what had been a valid
+ <command>SELECT DISTINCT</> view query. Since this could result in
+ <application>pg_dump</> output failing to reload, it is being treated
+ as a high-priority fix. The only released versions in which dump
+ output is actually incorrect are 8.3.1 and 8.2.7.
