I had dumped and initdb'd to yesterdays sources. I then ran for a
while. My backup ran last nite/this am.

I then cvs update'd today, and compiled/installed. Got the initdb
warning (missing the initdb forced, my fault, and stupid).

I then restored my /usr/local/pgsql/bin and /usr/local/pgsql/lib
directory from the tape cut last nite.

I then get the posted error's.

:-(
