Create user is failing under 6.5

I have seen this before. I've simply got round it by adding the valid
until date.

Subject: [HACKERS] Create user is failing under 6.5

CREATE USER sarah;
ERROR: Bad abstime external representation ''

The back end will fail with the next sql call:

CREATE USER sarah;
NOTICE: (transaction aborted): all queries ignored until end of
transaction
block
*ABORT STATE*

Am I missing something?

Thanks, Michael

I hit it too. You can create the user with the createuser utility in a
shell. Might still explain some backend crashes for me though.
