Looks like issues with timezones before epoch probably due to
the changes to mktime (IIRC) in glibc.  If you're not using such times
you probably won't have to worry about it.

Red Hat has just changed it, because the glibc people have just
changed it.  This is what POSIX hath wrought, supposedly.  

Anyway, there was a recent big kerfuffle about it on this list and
others.  See

<http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=m34rh68465.fsf%40dep4.fciencias.unam.mx>

and the resulting thread for details (sorry about the long line, but
the postgres archives haven't been working for me).

Actually the developers use a mixture of Unix flavors.  Portability
issues that arise tend to be corrected very quickly. ;)

We all use different OS's;  they are all important.

Regarding regression tests in my machine. 

My box is a linux i386 Pentium III, RedHat 7.3

I was able to run the regression tests. I have got 3 tests failed 
during my run. See below.

parallel group (20 tests):  comments lseg type_sanity box reltime polygon 
tinterval date point time circle path tim
etz abstime interval opr_sanity oidjoins inet timestamp timestamptz
     point                ... ok

test create_table         ... ok
test create_function_2    ... ok
test copy                 ... ok


Looking and inspecting the regression.diffs I have got lots of things 
which I don't understand. 

I have attached the regression.diffs . Can I make sure my PG is properly 
installed in this way, having 3 steps failed ? Is this something to do 
with my Linux OS or PG ?

    mktime(3) is different in FreeBSD than in RedHat ? Why did they changed it 
? Anyway thanks for tip. 

I wanted to ask what main Operating System the developers are 
using for coding PG ? 

>>FreeBSD, RedHat, Solaris ? 

Is it developed under one and ported then to other OSes, I think...
