Jason needs a copy that's actually appropriate to 8.2. Howver there is something odd here, because the value of XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC comes from src/include/access/xlog_internal.h and not from the text of xlogdump.c itself. What it looks like to me is that Jason compiled it against the wrong set of Postgres header files. regards, tom lane
