"g" does not work for me yet when after "f", only the message is slightly 
different, it chokes on another dependency, branches instead of accounts.
  sh> ./pgbench -i -I ctpfg  cleaning up...  creating tables...  set primary keys...  set foreign keys...  ERROR:
cannottruncate a table referenced in a foreign key constraint  DETAIL:  Table "pgbench_history" references
"pgbench_branches". HINT:  Truncate table "pgbench_history" at the same time, or use TRUNCATE ... CASCADE.
 

I think that the whole data generation should be in *one* transaction 
which starts with "truncate pgbench_history, pgbench_branches, 
pgbench_tellers, pgbench_accounts;"

In passing, I think that the documentation should tell explicitely what 
the default value is (aka "ctgvp").
