7.0 weirdness (maybe solaris?)

i've got 7.0RC1 running on a solaris7 box.

i'm running into some problems using the bin scripts.

for example, with destroyuser, we have:
PARGS="-tq $AUTHOPT $PGHOSTOPT $PGPORTOPT"
PSQL="psql $PARGS"
QUERY="select usesuper from pg_user where usename = '$USER'"
ADDUSER=`$PSQL -c "$QUERY" template1`

if [ x$ADDUSER != xt ]
then
    echo "$CMDNAME: $USER cannot delete users."
    exit 1
fi

when i run: "sh -x destroyuser username" i get:
  PSQL=psql -tq   
  QUERY=select usesuper from pg_user where usename = 'pgsql'
  + psql -tq -c select usesuper from pg_user where usename = 'pgsql' template1 
  ADDUSER= t
  + [ 0 -ne 0 ] 
  + [ x t != xt ] 
  destroyuser: test: unknown operator t

it appears that the psql client on this machine is prepending a space to the
output of selects.

is this a command line option, a compiler option, a bug?
