The basic problem is the above where the database cluster was initialized using float timestamps and the server binary was compiled with integer timestamps. As John already posted, this could be you are doing -D $PG_DATA on the wrong cluster. The other way this can happen is if you shutdown the server, moved another (incompatible)cluster into the data directory and then restarted the server.

or initdb.

is it possible you have two different builds of the postgres software on
this system, and you inadvertently started a different one than the one
you've been using ?
