Yes.

Me too! After 'initdb -D pgdata' and 'pg_ctl start -D pgdata' it ran for days 
during which I used
it quite a bit. But once I restarted the computer...

Yes. But I looked around and couldn't find any other data dirs.

Hmm, I installed using DarwinPorts (I think, if that uses 'port') -- I wonder 
if it can be
reinstalled that way and pass a HAVE_64BIT_TIMESTAMP flag to it. Besides my 
current problem, does
HAVE_64BIT_TIMESTAMP have much impact on things?

Heh, I hope. :) I've never had a problem with PG before, and I have no idea how 
or why this
happened (other than it coincided with rebooting).

Thanks,
