Hmmm.  I saw that discussion but I didn't think it applied to me because
I don't run it over the network.  So if I unset PGHOST/PGPORT then it
should work?

I tried this and it wasn't set.  I tried setting it and it still didn't
work.  So, so far I have tried;

  With and without PGHOST/PGPORT defined
  With and without -i flag

Something else?
