[postgis-devel] CLUSTER in 8.3

Tried from psql to rule that out as an issue and works fine for me still.

So I guess its more than 8.3.5 at play here.

Well, psql is autocommitting, and if I do the cluster, then disconnect
and reconnect, the count is still zero.  I think I just need to get
the older point releases and walk back and see if it goes away.
