The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 2420
Logged by: Simon Burge
Email address: simonb@netbsd.org
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.3
Operating system: NetBSD 3.0/i386
Description: NetBSD doesn't need float8-small-is-zero regression test
resultmap entry
Details:

NetBSD doesn't need the float8-small-is-zero entry in the
src/test/regress/resultmap file any more.

It looks like the entry was added in rev 1.17 in 2000. I don't know what
has changed from NetBSD's point of view in this time, but removing this
entry means the float8 test now passes.

Thanks for the feedback.

Patch attached, so NetBSD >= 3.0 will not use float8-small-is-zero.

I assume m68k is also fixed. If not, we will hear about it.

Applied to CVS HEAD and 8.1.X.

The buildfarm seems to think this is a bad idea.
