against unexpectedly treating usernames or other strings in "flat files"
as inclusion requests, as seen in a recent trouble report from Ed L.
The empty-filename case would be guaranteed to misbehave anyway, because our
subsequent path-munging behavior results in trying to read the directory
containing the current input file.

I think this might finally explain the report at
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-05/msg00132.php
of a crash after printing "authentication file token too long, skipping",

platform where stdio doesn't refuse to read directories.  We never got
far in investigating that problem, but now I'm suspicious that the trigger
condition was an @ in the flat password file.

Back-patch to all active branches since the problem can be demonstrated in all
branches except HEAD.  The test case, creating a user named "@", doesn't cause
a problem in HEAD since we got rid of the flat password file.  Nonetheless it

so I changed HEAD too.

Make contrib/xml2 use core xml.c's error handler, when available (that is,

libxml error handler settings.

Perl invoke libxml without setting their own error handler.  Given the lack

step of actually duplicating the core code into older contrib/xml2 branches.
