i tried to send this message before but it didn't make it to the
list. maybe it was the long attachment from the regression test. i'm not
including the attachment this time.
PLEASE NOTE: I'm brand new to PostgreSQL as of today. I've just moved from
MySQL because it's not stable on NetBSD/Alpha. I don't know enough about
pgsql to see if these failed test would make it unstable for production.
i start the server like this:
$ postmaster -D /usr/pkg/pgsql/data > /var/pgsql/logfile 2>&1 &
I've seen many messages on the console when doing the regression
tests. However, none of the warnings, or debug, or status messages went to
the logfile as it should have. logfile is currently still empty. also
there was a very serious error "Unaligned Access..." during the test that
was reported on the console.

int8 and float8 seemed OK. int8 just had numbers with '-' or '+' signs
instead of the '<' or '>' around numbers. float8 reported same error in a
different format.
the rest of the test failed pretty bad.
