Regression test status (was type coersion)

I rebuilt the system from current sources today, and ran the regression
tests for the first time in a long time. select_views works fine for
me, but there are several other tests that look badly broken:
SELECT ... ORDER BY upper(c) is misordering the results in select_implicit,
GROUP BY on a datetime is not working right in select_having, and the
random test is failing because it "can't look up operator 713".

I'm on HP-UX 9.03, PA-RISC 1.1, gcc 2.7.2.2 if that helps.
