There are 2.2.8 boxen still out there, but, if they're running 7.4
PostgreSQL on a 2.2.8 machine, let me know and I'll send black
choppers and people in suites.
Actually, now that I think about it, since BSD hasn't changed it's
handling of FPU errors in over 12 months now (no longer sends SIGFPE
on FPU errors), and it used to pass less than a month ago, it looks
like this is a "perk" of a recent gcc upgrade to 3.2.2. I'm going to
update my -CURRENT box just to be sure though and see if this wasn't
an anomaly. -sc
