I'm getting some weird things happen when trying to search for a specific row in a 
table that contains "real" types.

Here is my table structure

table units (
        unit_id int4,
        price_unit      varchar(10),
        unit_cov        real,
        unit_wt real);

The following row exists in the units table

 unit_id | price_unit | unit_cov | unit_wt
 ---------+------------+----------+---------
    47430 | LF         |       12 |   4.833

The following query returns no rows:

SELECT unit_id FROM units
WHERE price_unit='LF' and unit_cov=12 and unit_wt=4.833;

While these queries return the correct unit_id

SELECT unit_id FROM units
WHERE price_unit='LF' and unit_cov='12' and unit_wt='4.833';

SELECT unit_id FROM units
WHERE price_unit='LF' and unit_cov='12' and unit_wt=float4(4.833);

I'm running pg7.2.1 on Linux.

The curious thing is I have a development database running pg7.1 on linux where I 
don't have this problem.
