POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE

Your name : Rolf Grossmann

System Configuration
---------------------
Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : AMD-K6 300
Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) : FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE
PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-6.5.1): PostgreSQL-7.0beta1
Compiler used (example: gcc 2.8.0) : gcc 2.95
Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
Actually, I have found 2 platform specific problems:
1. miscadmin.h needs to include sys/types.h for a definition of pid_t
This patch fixes the problem.

--- 24,29 ----
#define MISCADMIN_H
+ #include <sys/types.h> /* For pid_t */
+
#include "postgres.h"
2. Regression tests fail for types int2 and int4 (which can easily be
fixed by adding entries to resultmap) aswell as float8 and geometry,
where floating point numbers appear to be rounded a little differently
than in your expected results (besides that I also need the positive
zeros file). I'm including a patch for the first 2, but I don't know
whether the latter two are actually a bug in postgres or a bug in the
OS or even allowed difference. I'm including my results for reference.

Thanks for your attention and keep up the good work.
