Tom Lane af7d181298 Fix pgstatindex() to give consistent results for empty indexes.
For an empty index, the pgstatindex() function would compute 0.0/0.0 for
its avg_leaf_density and leaf_fragmentation outputs.  On machines that
follow the IEEE float arithmetic standard with any care, that results in
a NaN.  However, per report from Rushabh Lathia, Microsoft couldn't
manage to get this right, so you'd get a bizarre error on Windows.

Fix by forcing the results to be NaN explicitly, rather than relying on
the division operator to give that or the snprintf function to print it
correctly.  I have some doubts that this is really the most useful
definition, but it seems better to remain backward-compatible with
those platforms for which the behavior wasn't completely broken.

Back-patch to 8.2, since the code is like that in all current releases.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
