OK, I've committed the SERIAL type support to the CVS tree:

postgres=> create table test (x text, s serial);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence test_s_seq for
SERIAL column test.s
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE/UNIQUE will create implicit index test_s_key for
table test
CREATE
postgres=> insert into test values ('one');
INSERT 894781 1
postgres=> insert into test values ('two');
INSERT 894782 1
postgres=> insert into test values ('three');
INSERT 894783 1
postgres=> select * from test;
x |s
-----+-
one |1
two |2
three|3
(3 rows)

postgres=> \d

Database = postgres
+------------------+----------------------------------+----------+

postgres=> select * from test;

Whoops! Don't know why this is causing trouble, but it seems to be
reproducible. Will look at it some more...
