Hmm. I'm on Linux-libc5, i686, gcc 2.7.2.1, and select_views is still
core dumping:

QUERY: SELECT * FROM toyemp WHERE name = 'sharon';
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.

These two pass on my machine. Your select_having result looks similar to
the sorting results back when the in-memory/on-disk sorting routines
were broken; some identical values are not getting grouped together
while others are.

Ah. I am getting failures on this too but didn't actually look at why,
just assuming that the randomizer was doing better nowadays. This is
probably related to something I, or possibly Bruce or David, had done.
If you change the query to

  SELECT count(*) FROM onek where oidrand(onek.oid, 10) = TRUE;

then it works. I'll look at it. Darn, I had just stripped out the
debugging stuff in the code before submitting it, since leaving it
hanging around was annoying Bruce (with good reason btw).
