Re: horo(r)logy test fail on solaris (again and

I suspect the '-fast' introduced arithmetic associativity transformations that horology is sensitive to.  I've seen
thisin the past. 

The solution I used was to mod the Makefile to exclude the sensitive routines from the aggressive optimizations.  As I
recall,adt.c was the prime culprit.

Are you looking for ways to contort Solaris to make PostgreSQL fail?
That doesn't prove much about PostgreSQL, but rather about Solaris.
