This is a known problem and is fixed in the v7.0 tree.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to fix it in versions up
to v6.5.x. Normally some INSERT's to system catalogs could
enable it, but in this case the required function
numeric_cmp() is missing (also implemented in v7.0) and
adding this would require an initdb run.

Sorry,
