One thing you should watch out for is that the awk and sed scripts
that we ship with postgres don't work with the international versions
of awk and sed.  If you are getting errors in the .gen files, I'd
be willing to bet serious money that this is your problem.  Use the
standard versions of these unix utilities (assuming you have them
available to you).
