Drupal 6.17, PostgreSQL 8.4, PHP 5.2 on Linux.

Using an IPv6 address in default/settings.php to connect to a PostgreSQL database like this:

$db_url = 'pgsql://user:password@[::1]/pgdatabase';

does not seem to work, Drupal cannot connect to the database

Apparently pg_connect does not like the brackets [ ]
A quick'n'dirty patch trimming the brackets in includes/database.pgsql.inc does the trick.
