   I just gave today's (Oct 25) snapshot a try on Sparc Linux.  
   Looks good except datetime.   I'm getting failures due to this type 
   of thing:
   
   regression=> SELECT ('today'::datetime );
   ?column?
   ----------------------------
   Sun Oct 25 00:00:00 1998 EDT
   (1 row)
   
   regression=> SELECT  ('tomorrow'::datetime - '1 day'::timespan);
   ?column?
   ----------------------------
   Sun Oct 25 01:00:00 1998 EDT
   (1 row)                                                                        
   
   
   I *think* this may because we're not too far into EST yet.
   Sound good?
   
   My machine is Kernel is 2.0.29.  Libc 5.3.12.

   OK, picky picky. Run the test tomorrow instead. And I'll mark you down
   as having tested and passed today :)
