Re: "make check" failures -- PG 8.2 and 8.1

I did the install despite the errors. After the install, I ran initdb  
and it failed the first time with:

creating configuration files ... ok
creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1 ... ok
initializing pg_authid ... FATAL:  function flatfile_update_trigger()  
does not exist
STATEMENT:  CREATE TRIGGER pg_sync_pg_database   AFTER INSERT OR  
UPDATE OR DELETE ON pg_database   FOR EACH STATEMENT EXECUTE  
PROCEDURE flatfile_update_trigger();

I ran it a second time and it went through without errors. To tempt  
fate, I removed the data directory and tried it a third time. Then it  
hung on "creating system views ..."

A backtrace of all stack frames of initdb at the time showed:
(gdb) bt

#5  0x0000000000404f9a in main ()

Any ideas what might be wrong? Hardware? OS? Maybe I should try  
something other than SUSE 10.1?
