It got more serious. After playing with the second database for a
while I managed to trash the first one altogether. I had to destroy
it and reload from a backup dump. I have never seen these problems
with PostgreSQL until I created a second database and accessed it as
a different user. I have multiple database on my other system with
no problem but I access all of them as myself, at least as far as
creating, dropping and renaming schema goes. There is some strange
interaction happening here. I'm afraid I don't know where to start
looking for this.
BTW, this is on NetBSD 1.3.
