I have seen this before. I've simply got round it by adding the valid
until date.

Subject: [HACKERS] Create user is failing under 6.5


CREATE USER sarah;	
ERROR:  Bad abstime external representation ''

The back end will fail with the next sql call:

CREATE USER sarah;
NOTICE:  (transaction aborted): all queries ignored until end of
transaction
block
*ABORT STATE*

Am I missing something?

Thanks, Michael

I hit it too.  You can create the user with the createuser utility in a
shell.  Might still explain some backend crashes for me though.
