Re: horo(r)logy test fail on solaris (again and

The solution I used was to mod the Makefile to exclude the sensitive routines from the aggressive optimizations. As I recall, adt.c was the prime culprit.

Are you looking for ways to contort Solaris to make PostgreSQL fail?
That doesn't prove much about PostgreSQL, but rather about Solaris.
