Hi, DU managers.

I am trying to install postgres 4.2 on the system I manage (a 2000/300
running DU 3.2c). The package can be configured to compile in OSF/1 1.3,
so I tried that. With some minor changes (substuting 'tr' with 'trbsd' in
the shell script src/backend/utils/Gen_fmgrtab.sh), it compiles and
installs correctly.

The problem comes when I run the database initialization script, initdb.
This script tries to create some tables and fill them with some values.
The first table creation works ok, but when initdb tries to insert the
first tuple in it the postgres program gives the following error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
tuple 28<Inserting value: 'boolin'
Typ == NULL, typeindex = 3 idx = 0
boolin End InsertValue
WARN:Oct 1 12:48:10:pg_atoi: error reading "100": Result too large
        syntax error 20 : syntax error syntax error 20 : syntax error
syntax error 20 : [this is repeated a couple of times] :
syntax errorInserting value: '100'
Typ == NULL, typeindex = 10 idx = 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


I would appreciate any comment or success/horror tale. I will sumarize.

Thanks in advance.
