In SE-PostgreSQL, all tuples have a its security attribute without any 
exception,
and I made a decision it's not necessary this field with flexible length.
It is the reason why I didn't use t_hoff padding to store security attribtue.

Your suggestion seems to me fine enough. However, I hesitate to apply it onto
the 8.2.x based SE-PostgreSQL now, because this change affects so wide range.
I want this change to be queued for 8.3.x based SE-PostgreSQL.

In the current version, I believe that installing se- version module into
"/usr/lib/sepgsql" is the best way to enhance its functionality.

Thanks,
