It should be:
macaddr | XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, MAC address

macaddr datatype works correctly (48-bit).

Well, it's pretty obvious how to fix it.

Yup. I have changed the pg_description entry for 7.1.1 ... but you
will not see the fix take effect unless you do an initdb.

I went ahead and changed the pg_description entry for 7.1.1; there
doesn't seem to be any harm in that ...
