What version was this? Was the bug ever isolated and fixed? The application
isn't wedded to PostgreSQL; it's just what I typically use. Do you know of a
more reliable alternative? It wouldn't be too hard to export everything to
text files, but why is it that a dump wouldn't suffice?
Does this mean that master doesn't get regularly backed up?

I wasn't expecting it. That does remind me, though; how does the LDAP
interface to the BTS work (that is, where can I find the scripts which do the
conversion)?
