Standard RPM rebuild -- always wipes the whole build tree out and re-expands
from the tarball, reapplies patches, and rebuilds from scratch every time I
change even the smallest detail in the spec file -- which is why it takes so
long to get these things out. So, no, this is a scratch build from a fresh
tarball.

I have not yet been able to repeat the problem. I am running my fifth
regression test run (which takes a long time on this P133) with a freshly
initdb'ed PGDATA -- the previous regression runs were done on the same PGDATA
tree as the first run was done on. Took 12 minutes 40 seconds, but I can't
repeat the error. I'm hoping it was a problem on my machine -- educate me on
what caused the error so I can see if something in my setup did something not
so nice. So, the score is one error out of six test runs, thus far.
