FATAL: cache lookup failed for function 1003

[John Summerfield <postgres(at)herakles(dot)homelinux(dot)org>]

Is this the right list for this? I'm off the 'net atm and can't easily 
check.

I'm running on self-built RHEL 4.

I built from cvs this morning, and get the above error. Running grep 
over the source doesn't show anything helpful to me.
The initdb command (sans --auth) works for psql (PostgreSQL) 7.4.6 so 
I'm guessing I'm close.

What might be the problem?

+ rm -rf /home/pgtest/postgres/data
+ mkdir -p --mode=0700 /home/pgtest/postgres/data
+ initdb --auth=trust
