Hi there,

I just installed Postgres 4.2 onto DEC Alpha OSF/1 box.  Everything went 
fine but when I issued initdb command, it generated the following error 
message.  Does anybody know the possible reasons? Thanks.

% initdb
WARN:Nov  7 17:06:47:pg_atoi: error reading "778": Result too large
        syntax error 20 : syntax error  syntax error 20 : syntax error  
.......

P.S. My postgres is a preliminary release of POSTGRES version 4.2 which was
out in April. Because the ftp site at Berkeley is temparily down now, can 
anybody tell me other ftp site to get the final release?  Thanks.

i think that version had a problem with osf/1 version x.y where x<2.
i believe what's in the final tar file builds on 2.1; at least, i've
been using it on 3.0.
