character number

Hi,
I've noticed that the character number "Ch" in the status bar of the
query window has been changed to col -1 since version 1.6.2
Why is that? I liked the feature of the character position, and i
don't see the point in substracting 1 from a number i can see next to
it instead.
In some situations (don't know exactly which) postgresql will give
error messages with character numbers instead of line numbers.
