This was just discovered a day or two ago --- there's been an extraneous
backslash in genbki.sh since, oh, about 1996. Curious how a bug can go
unnoticed for years and then two people pop up with it in a week.

You can change "/\name/" to "/name/" in src/backend/catalog/genbki.sh,
then re-make install in that directory; or just use the latest nightly
snapshot.

regards, tom lane
