(: JDBC+(Sun ~3:pm MST) CVS :) -also question about regression tests

JDBC works
postgres works

I is happy :)
[wasn't posted so I figure I'd post]

Runs very nicely under egcs-2.91.06 FWIW...
[about 3-5 times faster than before ... though that could be postgres
improvements - and probably is]

platform : linux (I'm not posting kernel version! it doesn't matter!! :)
egcs-2.91.06 (gcc-2.8.0 with haifa scheduler + other updates)
glibc-2.0.5c from RedHat-5.0 distrib - should be stable
[but with full crypt, locale]

But : Here's output from regression tests:
Is there anything wrong with the failed tests? (is it known?)

=============== Notes... =================
postmaster must already be running for the regression tests to succeed.
The time zone is now set to PST8PDT explicitly by this regression test
client frontend. Please report any apparent problems to
ports(at)postgresql(dot)org
See regress/README for more information.
