When I run 'make check' on the CVS version (today and for the last
serveral days), I have been getting interesting failures. Some of the
tests fail, but the interesting part is that not the same tests always
fail. Example:

bpalmer(at)mizer:~/APPS/pgsql>diff 1 2
1c1
< boolean ... FAILED
---
> boolean ... ok
3c3
< name ... ok
---
> name ... FAILED
5c5
< text ... FAILED
---
> text ... ok
9,10c9,10
< oid ... FAILED
< float4 ... ok
---
> oid ... ok
> float4 ... FAILED

In the regression.diff file, I keep seeing this:

*** ./expected/name.out Tue Jan 4 11:19:34 2000
--- ./results/name.out Sat Jan 6 16:36:34 2001
***************
*** 1,124 ****
! --

! -- all inputs are silently truncated at NAMEDATALEN (32) characters

! SELECT name 'name string' = name 'name string' AS "True";
! True
! ------
...
...
...
! (2 rows)
!
! DROP TABLE NAME_TBL;
--- 1 ----
! psql: Backend startup failed

======================================================================

Any ideas where to look for this one?

When I run the regression test WITH ANOTHER INSTANCE OF PGSQL running, I
got an error telling me that I needed more SEMMNI or SEMMNS. I recompiled
my kernel with the values of 1024 and 2048 respectivly, and that seems to
have solved the problem, but they may still be related.

Any ideas?
