1) I am reinitializing the POSTGRES database, cleardbdir works fine. If I
check ~postgres/data/* the only thing left there is the 'files' directory.
When I run initdb, it appears to set everything up properly, except that
when I go to add users, the ones who had access to the old database
already exist?!? How can this be?
2) I have created a database and now attempt to DEFINE a type and a function.
a) if I am doing this using the pqlib from code, it tells me they already
exist, if I do it from the command line, everything is fine?!?
It almost seems as if re-initializing the db has kept around some copy
of the previous set-up.

some possible explanations:
- your libpq program and your monitor are connecting to different
postmasters due to switch/environment differences.
- differences between PGDATA and the compiled database path (wrong
directory cleared/rebuilt).
- the postmaster was left running and has pages from the old database
in its cache.
