The history is rather interesting. :-)
This is the first version of PostgreSQL provided by a certain very
helpful fellow, who has been making PostgreSQL binaries available for
us Mac users for years, since he upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5 (aka
Leopard). I have not yet upgraded to Leopard, due to some serious
compatibility problems it introduced, so I am testing this build for
compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4 (aka Tiger). It is working
flawlessly on my Intel Mac, but I'm encountering the errors
previously mentioned on an older G4 Mac.
Since there are so many variables involved--major PostgreSQL upgrade,
major Mac OS X upgrade (yes, 10.4 -> 10.5 is a major upgrade ;-) ),
support for two different processor families--I'm just trying to
narrow down what he needs to look at, and your suggestions are very
helpful.
I hadn't tried any backslash commands, but someone else with a
similar configuration said he was seeing errors with \du and other
psql commands. I first noticed the problem when connecting to
databases in PGAdmin3. (I'm a GUI-oriented user.)
"SELECT * FROM pg_rewrite" seems to work fine.
Thank you very much for your help!

Can anyone interpret this error message?
Something's whacked out about your ON SELECT rules for these views.
Further than that is harder to say --- have you tried looking at
\d output for them, or looked into pg_rewrite?
It appears in response to each of the following queries in one
instance of PostgreSQL 8.3:
What's the history of that instance?
