new int8 test still has problems

It fails on two of my machines like this:

*** src/test/regress/expected/int8.out Sun Oct 5 12:19:58 2008
--- src/test/regress/results/int8.out Sun Oct 5 12:20:26 2008

======================================================================

It seems to me that these two new tests are inherently checking
machine-dependent floating point behavior, not anything Postgres
can control. I'd suggest just removing them.

The buildfarm is showing still other "interesting" behaviors.
I'm not really interested in having umpteen expected int8 files
to deal with all the strange corner cases that might be seen
on different platforms. Please just remove all the edge-case
tests.
