Description:        Endiannes, of all things
Details:

I'm in a relatively foul mood, but I'll keep the quips to myself.

I wanted an easy time of it, so I copied a cluster from my PowerBook G4 to
an x86 Linux box.

Lo!
The database cluster was initialized with PG_CONTROL_VERSION 906166272, but
the server was compiled with PG_CONTROL_VERSION 822.

NUXI? yes

Now I have to issues all of these commands and follow all of these protocols
when a simple copy should have done the trick.

For shame....
