Originally, I thought the problem was caused by a function that gets
called as a normal function where we want to return a value, and as a
signal handler where we need to have it accept a parameter (the signal
number) and it returns nothing, I was going to case the function name in
the signal call as (void (*)(int)).
Looking at all the source, it turns out this function only gets used as
a signal handler, so I set an int parameter and return void.
I have removed the Linux defines because they are not needed. BSD let
this sloppiness slide. Linux gave a compile error.

In postgres95/src/backend/nodes/readfuncs, lines 1188 and 1189,
local_node->relname is taken to point to a NameType, while its
defined as a pointer to char. Both the casting to Name and the
call of namestrcpy should, IMHO, be changed appropriately (first
patch).
As far as I could see from the Linux signal header file,
a signal handler is declared as
typedef void (*__sighandler_t)(int);
Few changes to postgres95/src/backend/storage/lmgr/proc.c seem
appropriate to comply with this.
Finally, postgres95/src/bin/pg_version/pg_version.c defines
a function GetDataHome (by default, returning an integer)
and returns NULL in the function, which isn't an integer...

updates the psql.1 manual page for \ options
add row count and ties it to the header option
updated manual pages and comment for above change
got \? to display in one screen-full (almost, \? scrolls off top)
moved \r to \E, and \z to \r (for historical reasons with monitor)
small code alignment cleanup

case where the attribute length is variable (stored as -1). Previously,
you'd get output that looked like:
CREATE TABLE foo (bar varchar(-1));
Monitor and psql don't like this at all :). Here is a fix:

Kerberos is being used (attempt to free static memory).
The error was caused by a confusing doublespeak of fe_getauthname():
Returns a pointer to static memory, if you authenticate via Kerberos,
a pointer to dynamic memory otherwise.
