Jan, I can't reproduce the temp regression failure here.  I did make
changes yesterday morning to this.  I assume you have an updated cvs,
right?

Anyway to make the default numeric regression test run faster.  It seems
to take quite a while compared to the others.

We certainly need someone to update the regression tests to match the
new format so people can continue running regression tests before
applying patches.

I've been using old psql (per Peter's suggestion) to run regression
tests.  I have not pulled CVS since Saturday but things seemed OK then.
If there is a breakage, it's recent.

I thought we were putting off committing a new set of regress test
expected outputs until the dust settles in the new psql.  Isn't Peter
still tweaking the output format?  Not much point in generating new
expected files until everyone agrees the format is frozen.

Of course there's a bit of a catch-22 situation here: since I am not
using the new psql, I'm not contributing any feedback on it.  The same
is probably true of some other developers... when we do finally adopt
new psql (after regress test update) there may be a bunch of belated
requests for changes...

Yes, I am waiting to see if anyone changes the format before updating
all the queries in my book.

Is everyone OK with the new format?  Do you like it more or less than
the old one?  Please someone weight in on one side or the other so we
can conclude this.  People have been very quiet on this issue.
