It must have a larger affect than just a spelling effect if he is seeing
an error:

I now see the question Tom had was wether we force an initdb.  Seems
this query "select * from information_schema.tables;" is broken without
it.  I think we should fix it but not force an initdb ---
information_schema is new and I am not sure how many people are using
it.
