I'm running an installation on NetBSD/i386 1.3.2 that I upgraded
(using 'cvs update') just a couple of hours ago, and it's behaving
just fine.  I've loaded a few megabytes of data into it, and done a
bit of updating and querying, with no problems.

That may be it.  I always use pg_dump and initdb when I update the
systems I run a current snapshot of PostgreSQL on, just to be sure.
