Yeah, but they'll probably want a smaller test case than "Postgres fails
its regression tests" :-(

My guess is that the problem is misoptimization of the interval_div()
function (look in utils/adt/timestamp.c), and that you could probably
construct a nice small test case for them out of that function.
