bytea and vacuum analyze on postgresql 7.3.4

Hi,

I hit the following bug:

this is with a 7.3.4 database server (and psql client)
PGCLIENTENCODING="UTF-8"
and a utf-8 encoded database,

pensieve=> create table a(raw bytea);
CREATE TABLE
pensieve=> insert into a values('\770\711\056'::bytea);
INSERT 1112630 1
pensieve=> vacuum analyze a;
VACUUM
pensieve=> insert into a values('\770\711\056'::bytea);
INSERT 1112631 1
pensieve=> vacuum analyze a;
ERROR: Invalid UNICODE character sequence found (0xf8c92e)

I think bytea should accept ANY value and vaccuum analyze must
not complain about this.

Is this new to you?

Regards,

Michael
