PostgreSQL 8.4.1+ should be supported, it works fine. (8.4.0 has a bug that causes it to be unusable.)
Also, there are a number of places where we weren't trapping database errors with a finally block to clean things up. I went through and audited a lot of the remaining JDBC code to be wrapped with a class that tracks the connections and handles and cleans them up.
Fixed in 1.6-testing, r13646

Also, FYI, the database error work happened later, there was just a bit of cleanup in the classes related to this postgresql stuff in r13646. So ignore that bit in comment #0.
