failed datetime regression tests

I'm taking a MS level database design class this semester, and didn't
really want to use the school's ORACLE database on their machines, so...

I built the postgres-6.3.2 package on my NetBSD-current/pc532 machine
over the last few days.  For those of you who care slightly, this is
a NS32532 based machine from the early '90s and I had to add a couple
of lines af assembler to get the thing to build 8-)  I'll send a set
of diffs in when I think it works.

My problem is that it failed several of the regression tests.  int2 and int4
scared me until I saw that my machine said something like "number too big"
and the expected output was something like "bad format"...  However, I
got the following lines out of the test with diff -c:

*** expected/datetime.out       Sun Jan  4 19:35:27 1998
--- results/datetime.out        Mon Aug 31 18:38:04 1998

That doesn't seem right 8-)   Any suggestions?
