Some 6.5 regression tests are failing

int2 .. failed
int4 .. failed

Both int2 and int4 have been consistently failing
for me, but it is due to a wording problem:

pg_atoi: error reading "100000": Math result not representable
instead of
pg_atoi: error reading "100000": Numerical result out of range

Also, float8 usually fails for me, due to the expected
being a 'result is out of range' error, and the result being:

! bad|?column?
! ---+--------
! |0
! |NaN

etc.

geometry .. failed

This almost always fails due to a rounding differences.
Is there a way to build the rounding into the test
so that it would fail if something is _really_ wrong?

triggers .. failed

For me, "check_primary_key: even number of arguments should be specified"
is shown as an error, which is not 'expected', then, as a result,
everything else in the test fails.

This is definately a problem.

misc .. failed
plpgsql .. failed

I'm not too sure about these.. I had a host of other failures, but
this was due to me running the test in the wrong account....
running it in the right account now. :)

I am running Red Hat 5.1 on intel. Should I be concerned about these? I am
eager to get up and running on 6.5 but always seem to run into one obstacle
or another.

I have the same configuration, Pentium Pro, RH 5.1 almost stock configuration.

Just a quick answer on this, but if you look in the test/regress/expected
subdirectory, there are "system specific" .out files for a few systems.
It isn't perfect, but it does help to remove system specific differences
in the regressio tests...

If your OS doesn't have an appropriate file there, please feel free to
confirm that the problem is benign and submit an appropraite file for
inclusion...if your OS does have an appropriate file and is still having a
problem, then it is something that we shoudl look at...
