     </P
><P
>      Before this fix, a negative constant in a view or rule might be dumped
      as, say, <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>-42::integer</TT
>, which is subtly incorrect: it should
      be <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>(-42)::integer</TT
> due to operator precedence rules.
      Usually this would make little difference, but it could interact with
      another recent patch to cause
      <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> to reject what had been a valid
      <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SELECT DISTINCT</TT
> view query.  Since this could result in
      <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>pg_dump</SPAN
> output failing to reload, it is being treated
      as a high-priority fix.  The only released versions in which dump
      output is actually incorrect are 8.3.1 and 8.2.7.
