|Here is a fix for the psql alignment problem.  It turns out that libpq
|was trying to determine if the column contained only numeric values so
|it could right justify it.  The 'e' values were taked as exponient
|values and all columns were considered numeric.
|
|The patch excludes 'e' and 'E' as being valid first-column numeric
|values.
