Erm, dunce question (sorry)
How do I apply that patch? Do I cut and paste from ? src/Makefile.custom
down into a file and then use patch?
And -more scarily- does that mean I have to recompile postgres?
That aside, thanks for your help Bruce, as soon I figure out how to apply
the patch I'll let you know if it worked!
Cheers, [indeed huge grin... I'm off to Silverstone for the British F1
Grand Prix!!]

PS. BTW, I'll never understand the C behind it but, conceptually speaking,
why does creating the view with the space in it and then select from it
yield the error but just doing the query 'select in_words,number,number *
number as "number squared" from test1;' work?
>> brecard=> create view on_test2 as
>> brecard-> select in_words,number,number * number as "number squared" from
>> test1;
