Your installation seems to be *seriously* broken. Don't even consider
using it till you find out what the problem is :-(. Looking at the
detailed regression diffs would be a good start; also read
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.1/postgres/regress.html

As of now I believe the abstime test should be expected to show about
two lines of differences, because it had an ill-considered comparison
between 'current' and '30 June 2001' :-(. Otherwise you should not see
any differences that you can't explain away as one of the phenomena
mentioned on the aforesaid webpage.
