Author Problems with CREATE AGGREGATE and user defined state type.

Hello,

I discoverd what seems to be a bug in postgresql 7.4.12 (also on
7.4.7).

I have an example located at http://foo.fot.nu/psql/ with a simple
example that delevers the correct result on 8.1 (tested by some nice
person at #postgresql).

It seems like the state variable is reseted every time a new
grouped value pops up.

AFAIR, 7.4 and earlier didn't really have a sane way of representing
NULL composite-type values, so this aggregate isn't going to work
before 8.0.
