Thanks for offering to help.

I recently updated the postgresql document, to update description to
make postgres 7.2.3 the current postgresql version, and added a short
section at the end about 7.3 and the problems I encountered.

To duplicate the problem:

 download current core-bin and core-src tar's

 install the stellation core as described in the 
   'Core Install' document

 build the core from source as described in 'Core Build'

 run the tests:

       ant -f core-build.xml test

When I do this, all tests pass with 7.2.3, some fail with 7.3.

Though you should be able to do this now, you might want
to wait until we have current builds based on the source
reorganization changes that Mark has just checked in. With
luck I'll have this done later today.
