Tom Lane ea28271165 Adjust timestamp regression tests to prevent two low-probability failure 
cases.  Recent buildfarm experience shows that it is sometimes possible
to execute several SQL commands in less time than the granularity of
Windows' not-very-high-resolution gettimeofday(), leading to a failure
because the tests expect the value of now() to change and it doesn't.
Also, it was recognized some time ago that the same area of the tests
could fail if local midnight passes between the insertion and the checking
of the values for 'yesterday', 'tomorrow', etc.  Clean all this up per
ideas from myself and Greg Stark.

There remains a window for failure if the transaction block is entered
exactly at local midnight (so that 'now' and 'today' have the same value),
but that seems low-probability enough to live with.

Since the point of this change is mostly to eliminate buildfarm noise,
back-patch to all versions we are still actively testing.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains several language
bindings, including C, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as a JDBC
driver.

The ODBC and C++ interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects
Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
