Apple broke the system() library function in 10.1, which causes
Postgres to crash during CREATE DATABASE :-(

There is a kluge solution for this in current sources.  Grab a
nightly snapshot tarball, or 7.2beta3 when it's out (should be
tomorrow).  All existing releases up to and including 7.2beta2
are vulnerable to the bug.
