my later message drops the error count to one, too.
btw, i never claimed that "random" failures were an issue; it was never
one of the six i mentioned.
as far as the string difference issue causing the create_function_1
failure, that's good news--it's the only one i couldn't figure out.
create_function_1 does not fail when 8b3 is built from source so i think
the pg crew has somehow corrected the error.
and i am sorry for not reading the share docs. all i read was the README
in the regress directory and a few notes i found on the web.
thank you,
John
