It works for me but I have the same thing happening on a database
where I do the following.

SELECT * INTO TABLE tempset FROM trash WHERE "Shape" ~* 'Prow' ;

The tempset table doesn't exist and trash is just a table that the
user is trying to grab a subselect from. I don't know if there is
a connection here but it brought to mind a question I have been meaning
to ask, how do I read the pg_log file? I can't seem to find anything
that reads this. Also, what sort of stuff gets put into that log?
