Uh, no, Linux/i686 is showing trouble too, but not in the initdb stage.
The Sparc platforms will be more sensitive to byte alignment problems,
especially within C structures, so this may be illustrating a
cross-platform problem more clearly.
There is a repeatable indexing and (perhaps) caching problem I see in
the regression tests. Annoyingly, the problems get slightly worse at the
moment when compiling with -O0.
There is a fundamental problem lurking somewhere, and there may not be
much point in going beta unless you think that more testers will help to
track down the problem.
