Jason,

We are aware of this  problem, it has to do with the word boundaries on
SGI's when creating memory mapped files.  There's  a patch for pq/pq.c in
the source code directory, it called 512-sgi32.patch .  If you are
unfamilar with patch, do a man on patch. If you still have problems after
installing the patch , let us know.
