I know this one has been a pain, but I'm getting regression failures on:

     abstime              ... FAILED
     tinterval            ... FAILED
test horology             ... FAILED

under RedHat 7.3 and RedHat Null Beta.

Thanks,

Gordon.

That's due to a glibc change and is expected, if not desired. Complain 
to Red Hat. For more info, see previous threads on HACKERS, notably this 
one:

Yeah, I remember that.  The impression I had from the whole thing was
that, yeah, it's a glibc issue, but it still has to be fixed.

I guess I misunderstood?

Well a "real" fix sounded like a lot of work, and no one had the right 
combination of time/desire/knowledge/skill to go implement it. The 
"workaround" fix was discussed in this more recent thread:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2002-08/msg01233.php

It still isn't clear to me exactly what needs to be done to implement 
the workaround, and since I don't really *need* dates before 1970 for my 
own purposes (presently at least), I haven't tried to figure it out in 
favor of other priorities.

But I'm sure a fix would be enthusiastically greeted on the PATCHES list ;-)

Thanks, that's informative.  I don't really understand the workaround
either...

Probably not if I hacked away at it...at "Beta - 1"   =:-o
