numeric usernames in 7.3.1?

We use fully numeric usernames in 7.2.1 (e.g. '1001').

can't login with such usernames.

This is a bug (just reported a day or two back). We'll fix it for
7.3.2.

Thanks, Tom!

Is there a public (planned) release date for 7.3.2?
Where can I find such things on the web? Shuffled throug postgresql.org and
this month's postings just to find nothing about this.

Is it a new behaviour in 7.3.x? Is there a configurable option or an
easy way to modify the source to retain the old behaviour? Or is the
only way to rename all the users?

There seems to be a bug in 7.3.x that prevents all numeric usernames from
being able to log in. For now I think you'll have to rename the users to
use 7.3.x :-( but you might want to follow the thread because the
problem is being discussed right now on -hackers:
