Hi Tom,
This looks like a parser bug in 6.4. I found it while trying to run
pg_upgrade:
bray=> create table junk ("singleton" "char");
CREATE
bray=> drop table junk;
DROP
bray=> create table junk ("singleton" "char" default 'M');
ERROR: DEFAULT: const type mismatched
bray=> create table junk ("singleton" char default 'M');
CREATE
pg_dump puts all type names in double quotes, which triggers this bug
when pg_upgrade is run, with the result that the upgrade fails.
[Machine is i686 Linux 2.1.125 with glibc 2.0.7u]
