 Dear Paul,
 
 I have been running postgres 4.2 on SunOS 4.1 (sparc 20) for the last 
 few months and it was OK.  
 However lately, I encountered problems with pg_time when I queried
 a table.  A script is given below to illustrate the problem.
 The problem persists even when I tried to restart postmaster.

 I also note that pg_log is incredibly large.  Is it normal?  Can we reduce it?
