I've been using old psql (per Peter's suggestion) to run regression
tests. I have not pulled CVS since Saturday but things seemed OK then.
If there is a breakage, it's recent.

I thought we were putting off committing a new set of regress test
expected outputs until the dust settles in the new psql. Isn't Peter
still tweaking the output format? Not much point in generating new
expected files until everyone agrees the format is frozen.

Of course there's a bit of a catch-22 situation here: since I am not
using the new psql, I'm not contributing any feedback on it. The same
is probably true of some other developers... when we do finally adopt
new psql (after regress test update) there may be a bunch of belated
requests for changes...
