Ouch! This fails on our Solaris builds, because we build with the

I haven't studied this in depth but I'm afraid the answer is "fix your
own timezone files"?
Or use the ones shipping with pg ;-)
Yeah. I included the far-future cases in the committed patch
specifically to make it obvious if you were using tz files that lacked
post-2038 support.
Agreed, we want to give people a notice.
What we could do is to add comments to the expected output file, that
would show up in regression.diffs, that explain what the failure means.
I can't imagine that fixing this isn't pretty darn high on the Solaris
to-do list, anyway.
Yep, and PostgreSQL 8.4 won't be released for quite some time.
