Hi Bruce,

if i am dumping this db and grepping through the dump, i can't find the
number.
As far as we can see, the enum that is affected has now the enumtypid 16728.

is there a table which keeps the possible typecasts from enum to
text/text to enum etc.? if so, maybe the mapping in here is corrupt
since the upgrade.
