   Tom:
   
   It just occurred to me that, maybe we should ask Cristian which gcc version
   was used to build the pgsql rpm at redhat. Like I mentioned, with gcc-2.8.0
   and glibc2-2.0.7 rpm, I did get the time problem, but with gcc-2.7.2.3, it
   went away. Also with the helpful info Tom (Szybist) provided, this seems to
   make sense, that is, a recompile with gcc-2.7.2 cures the problem, if the rpm
   was indeed built with gcc-2.8.0 at redhat, that explains it.
   
   hope this helps,
   -Pailing

   Got a good install from Cristian's latest Postgres rpm and the Feb 24 glibc2
   found in his home area. Passed the "one minute" test.
   
   Thanks Cristian! What was the secret? Was it the compiler, or -O setting, or ??
   
   btw, there is a one-line patch you could apply before doing a full release; it
   fixes an obscure but occasionally useful feature in the type support code. I
   haven't committed it to the source tree yet.
   
                                                     - Tom

   I think you "recompile" a newer version than the snapshot included in the
   SRPM ?

   You're welcome !
   
   I just got a newer snapshot and recompiled it.

   Thanks, I'll do new rpms.
