Very interesting discussion indeed.
It seems that Postgresql:The world's most advanced open source database can
not work properly on Mac OS X: the world's most advanced operating system and
FreeBSD.
Don't you think postgresql.org should remove from their download page the links

Here is an exemple :
postgres=# create database newbase;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# \c newbase;
psql (8.4.2)
You are now connected to database newbase.
newbase=# create table t1 (contenu text);
CREATE TABLE
newbase=# insert into t1 values ('a'), ('e'), ('à'), ('é'), ('A'), ('E');
