Hi All,
Looks fine here, although we did change from BST to GMT last night!!
In general PostgreSQL on S/Linux is looking good.
I'm running kernel 2.0.35 on a mainly Redhat 4.2 system.
The only regression failures are float8 and geometry, due
to the usual FP rounding/precision differences.
Thanks,
Keith.

1998 EST' is 'Sun Oct 25 01:00:00 1998 EDT'. You would think it should be 'Sun
Oct 25 00:00:00 1998 EST', but thanks to Daylight Savings Time that datetime
does not exist :-)
