NS32K regression test

I did a CVS update tuesday night, built it yesterday, and ran the
regression test today...  Here are the results of running
"grep failed" on regress.out:

destroydb: database destroy failed on regression.
float8 .. failed
   It appears that there is some confusion whether 1e200 is an   overflow or underflow here.  Something to check in
libcis my   guess.  I also got errors with 10e-400 and -10e-400 underflowing.
 

datetime .. failed
   Here I get my same old problem of:  (There are others, but I suspect   they all have the same root cause.)
QUERY:SELECT ('now'::datetime - 'current'::datetime) AS "ZeroSecs";   ! ZeroSecs                        !
-----------------------------  ! @ 428 days 7 hours 8 secs ago
 

horology .. failed
   I suspect the same stuff that makes datetime fail is making   this fail too...

inet .. failed      This seems to be caused by:   + ERROR:  type name lookup of cidr failed   I did a gmake distclean,
configure,gmake, gmake install, initdb,   cd test/regress, gmake all, gmake runtest.  Did I miss something?   Is the
betadifferent from the CVS version I got (Tuesday night)?
 

sanity_check .. failed
   This one looks pretty serious, but perhaps it's not:     QUERY: VACUUM;   ! pqReadData() -- backend closed the
channelunexpectedly.   !       This probably means the backend terminated abnormally before   or while processing the
request.  ! We have lost the connection to the backend, so further processing   is impossible.  Terminating.
 

misc .. failed
   The results of this query are reversed:
     QUERY: SELECT unique1 FROM onek2 WHERE unique1 < 2;
   And inet_tbl is missing from another query.  (Only looking at   the 3 line diff context doesn't tell me much, but I
suspect  that it's the same error that caused the inet tests to fail.)
 


There you have it, NetBSD-current/pc532 (from about a month ago)
with Tuesday night's CVS update of PostgreSQL is not quite ready
for prime time.  It's pretty close though.  If someone wants to
log into my machine and take a whack at it, I'll try to set something
up.  Otherwise, I'll have to wait a week or two before I can touch
it.

I don't think I have the ability to submit any diffs this late in
the beta cycle safely anyway.  Besides I have a big part of a
homework assignment to do before Monday, and the prof scheduled
a midterm the same day he wants to collect the homework. 8-( (Too
bad I can't quit my job for a year and finish this degree work all
at once.)
