Re: [HACKERS] Last call?

I just gave today's (Oct 25) snapshot a try on Sparc Linux.
Looks good except datetime. I'm getting failures due to this type
of thing:

regression=> SELECT ('today'::datetime );
?column?
----------------------------
Sun Oct 25 00:00:00 1998 EDT
(1 row)

regression=> SELECT ('tomorrow'::datetime - '1 day'::timespan);
?column?
----------------------------
Sun Oct 25 01:00:00 1998 EDT
(1 row)

I *think* this may because we're not too far into EST yet.
Sound good?

My machine is Kernel is 2.0.29. Libc 5.3.12.
