that would be redhat.

not unless redhat upgrades, something they aren't likely to do, although 
they might backport the fix for this leak.

use the Postgres 8.4 RPMs from http://yum.pgrpms.org/  along with the 
compat-postgresql-libs package (from the same repository), which hooks 
the libpq.so.4 stuff that the stock EL5 clients like php-pgsql use.
