	I've seen alot of mail lately about anomolies with surrogates, or
surrogates not working at all.  I have ported Postgres 3.0 to System V, and I 
am seeing similar anomolies.  When using the dewitt benchmark to proof my port
I always get: 

	> WARN:Oct 10 11:43:12:parser: syntax error at or near "from"

where the query is:

	retrieve into temp (t.all) from t in tenk1 where (t.unique2 > 301) and (t.unique2 < 402)

Could I be having a memory management problem, and the parser just reports
a syntax error, or is there really a syntax error ?? Has anybody seen this 
behavior ?? The platform is Sequent Symmetry S/81 running Dynix/ptx 1.3.


	Thanks in advance,


	Ed Flowers
