I just did a cvs update, and ran the regression test on solaris.

I think what Tom is describes is my only remaining problem. 
Tables just appear to "vanish".  For instance this is from the
triggers test:

QUERY: create table pkeys (pkey1 int4 not null, pkey2 text not null);
QUERY: create table fkeys (fkey1 int4, fkey2 text, fkey3 int);
QUERY: create table fkeys2 (fkey21 int4, fkey22 text, pkey23 int not null);
QUERY: create index fkeys_i on fkeys (fkey1, fkey2);
QUERY: create index fkeys2_i on fkeys2 (fkey21, fkey22);
QUERY: create index fkeys2p_i on fkeys2 (pkey23);
ERROR:  DefineIndex: fkeys2 relation not found                  

Odd that it works the first time.  The triggers test later crashes.

I also had this at to top of sanity_check:

QUERY: VACUUM;
NOTICE:  Index pg_class_relname_index: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (169) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP' (139)
NOTICE:  Index pg_class_oid_index: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (169) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP' (139)
NOTICE:  Rel pg_trigger: Uninitialized page 0 - fixing                                                     


All in all *much* better!
