That certainly seems bad enough, but I did not see that problem.  Are you
talking about way back when 6.4 was still in beta?  Or did you mean 6.5?

As I tried to post earlier: when I built 6.4.2 using the patches it built
fine and initdb worked.  Most regression tests seemed ok-ish, but one of
them noticed that 'now' - 'current' was more than 200 days.

I had a problem building 6.5, but I think it was related to my
configuration rather than to Postgres.
