Thomas is the regression man, and has checked the output to see that
it was expected in the past. I assume he will regenerate it soon.
A good point is that he can use the old psql to see any changes/breakage
in the backend code, but can _not_ use the new psql to check because the
output is different. That is a good point, and I think the one Jan was
making.
