Well, the road map looks like this:
RHEL3 will use rh-postgresql 7.3.* until end of life; an upgrade to a
new major Postgres version is out of the question because of our
backward-compatibility requirements for that product.
Fedora Core 3 (to become RHEL4) currently uses Postgres 7.4.*, and I am
surely hoping that PG 8.0 is out in time that it can be the long-term-
supported version for RHEL4. Note that we have dropped the "RHDB"
branding in this version and gone back to calling it plain PostgreSQL.
As far as your immediate problem goes, depending on what the issue is,
it might or might not be feasible to back-port a fix into rh-postgresql
7.3. You didn't give any details...
