CREATE FUNCTION "plpgsql_call_handler" ( ) RETURNS opaque AS
'/usr/lib/pgsql/plpgsql.so' LANGUAGE 'C';

CREATE TRUSTED PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' HANDLER
"plpgsql_call_handler" LANCOMPILER 'PL/pgSQL';

I just cut and pasted without looking at it.  Stupid me.  That points to
the 6.5.3 lib that came with redhat.

Now:
playpen=# select lastchg_addto('foo','c');
ERROR:  fmgr_info: function 326368: cache lookup failed

There is nothing in  pg_proc with oid of 326368.

But if try again in a newly created database:
playpen2=# CREATE FUNCTION "plpgsql_call_handler" ( ) RETURNS opaque AS
playpen2-# '/usr/local/pgsql/lib/plpgsql.so' LANGUAGE 'C';
CREATE
playpen2=#
playpen2=# CREATE TRUSTED PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' HANDLER
playpen2-# "plpgsql_call_handler" LANCOMPILER 'PL/pgSQL';
CREATE
playpen2=# \i temp.txt
CREATE
CREATE
playpen2=# create table foo (a serial, b text, c timestamp);
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence 'foo_a_seq' for
SERIAL column 'foo.a'
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE/UNIQUE will create implicit index 'foo_a_key' for
table 'foo'
CREATE
playpen2=#  select lastchg_addto('foo','c');
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "execute"


Is there something in the script that is not compatible with 7.0.3?
