Compiling, running, errors..

As per requested on:

>The version of Postgres (6.5.3, 6.5, beta 990318, etc.).
6.5.3

>Your operating system (i.e. RedHat v5.1 Linux v2.0.34).
RedHat Linux 6, Linux v2.2.12

>Your hardware (SPARC, i486, etc.).
i686

>Did you compile, install and run the regression tests cleanly?
Compiled, installed, would not run cleanly.
Following failures:
float8 .. failed
geometry .. failed
These seem possibly minor.

create_index .. failed
sanity_check .. failed
numeric .. failed
numeric_big .. failed

Whoa. These do _not_ seem minor. Inspection showed that the backebd
failed:
! pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
!       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 impossibl
e.  Terminating.

On subsequent tests, float8 and geomtery contined to fail, numeric
and numeric_big hogs 100% of the CPU, occasionally fails. Is this normal?

Other problems: dropdb appears to be among the missing, possibly other
components.
