I did not change anything to Postgres and I can reproduce the problem 
with a vanilla checkout of HEAD. However, I think I started to see the 
problem since my last VMWare and OS upgrade (unfortunately I did both 
simultaneously).

For info, I am using VMWare Workstation v6.5.3 build-185404 on Vista 
6.0.60002 SP2. The VM is an Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) with a 2.6.28-16 SMP 
kernel on x86_64 (2 cores available for the VM, 4 cores total). gcc is 
4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4).

Let me know if you need additional info about my setup.
