Fellow testers:
We've just implemented a fresh build of 8.5alpha2 Solaris 10 SPARC ...
Interestingly, the server reports:
FATAL: database files are incompatible with server
DETAIL: The database cluster was initialized with PG_CONTROL_VERSION 843, but the server was compiled with PG_CONTROL_VERSION 851
Strangely, these datafiles were init'd by 8.5 alpha1, and that server has been running without objection.
However, we see the same log messages with 8.5 alpha2 against a freshly init'd cluster, built with alpha2's initdb command, or when using data init'd by alpha1.
Weird!
