I won't have time to do this in the next few weeks, since I'll be
traveling most of the time. You might find another volunteer from this
list, but if not I would suggest the following steps:
1) send us your default rpm compiler and build options. Use
rpm --showrc > tempfiletomail.txt
gcc --version >>&! tempfiletomail.txt
2) try building postgresql from sources. See if the problem persists (it
won't).
3) try building the postgresql rpm from sources. The steps are
a) rpm -ivv postgresql-xxx.src.rpm
b) cd /usr/src/RPM/SPEC (for Mandrake, RedHat uses /usr/src/RedHat...)
c) rpm -ba postgresql.spec (verify the spec file name)
d) cd /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/ixxx
e) rpm -Uvh --force postgresql*.ixxx.rpm
I'm doing these steps from memory, and you had better save your database
contents somewhere just in case it gets trashed ;)

Not sure, since I've never seen this before for this data type :(
