 commenting out the queries with 'FROM person* p' causes the misc regression test to pass.

| Hi,

|   DEBUG:  copy: line 293, XLogWrite: had to create new log file - you probably should do checkpoints more often

| the full src/test/regress/log/postmaster.log can be snagged from
| http://www.rcfile.org/postmaster.log
| 
| in addition to this, compiling on DEC/Alpha with gcc does not work,
| without some shameful hackery :) as __INTERLOCKED_TESTBITSS_QUAD() is 
| a builtin that gcc does not know about. The DEC cc builds pg properly.
| either way pg is built the test results are much the same, esp the
| FAILURE of misc regression test.
| 
| If there is anything else I can do to help get this working, please
| let me know.
