Wow. That works as expected for me, and for everyone who's run the
regression tests successfully; and we've not heard any similar
complaints from anyone.

I hate to cast aspersions, but Gentoo does not have a reputation for
being a remarkably stable platform. I'm betting on a compiler bug.
Have you changed compiler version between 8.3.5 and 8.3.7? Also,
are you following the usual Gentoo practice of compiling everything
locally, or did you get your Postgres executables from somewhere else
(and if so where)?
