CVS regression test problem

From

Just for information.
I see many regression tests failed (26 of 96). regression.diffs shows many 
error messages like ! ERROR:  unrecognized node type: 516

Did you initdb?  I see no such problem with today's tip and my shared
row locking patch ...  I think Tom committed something without
increasing catversion, but I'm not sure (my patch changes
PG_CONTROL_VERSION so I had to initdb anyway).

I assume you make distclean'd ...

I added/removed some node types, so if you didn't do a full rebuild
you'd probably have various files out of sync about which node type
has which number.

AFAICS there are two reasonable ways to work with updating from CVS:
1. make distclean (or at least make clean) each time you update;
2. configure with --enable-depend and trust gcc to get it right.

If you don't do either then you *will* get burnt.  I personally use
method #1 --- I don't know what the reliability of method #2 is.
