Re: [HACKERS] Last call?

Hi All,

Looks fine here, although we did change from BST to GMT last night!!

In general PostgreSQL on S/Linux is looking good.

I'm running kernel 2.0.35 on a mainly Redhat 4.2 system.

The only regression failures are float8 and geometry, due
to the usual FP rounding/precision differences.

Thanks,
Keith.

1998 EST' is 'Sun Oct 25 01:00:00 1998 EDT'. You would think it should be 'Sun
Oct 25 00:00:00 1998 EST', but thanks to Daylight Savings Time that datetime
does not exist :-)
