Re: Errors in Postgres

This is a standard C++ problem.  Some platforms need string.h, and some
just string.  We have not figured out a way to make this work on all
platforms.

Any ideas?  We kept switching them back and forth until we realized
this.  Sun's seem to have the problem.

At this point, and OS-specific test would probably be OK.
