 ctrl-m's in the file and/or generated by psql would crash psql.  Missing
 command line parameters would also crash it.
 I would generate my load_tiger script by running psql as:
 \a
 \o  load_tiger
 \i states
 \o
 \q
 I would them remove the control-m's from load_tiger.
 tr "\r" "\n" < load_tiger > load_tiger2
 I then would edit load_tiger2 putting a #!bin/bash at the top and removing
 the line numbers at the end.
 I had already downloaded the tiger database files so I would replace wget
 with #wget in the file.
 shp2pgsql does not really convert latin1 to utf-8 all the time so I added
 a "| iconv -f latin1 -t UTF8 | $PGBIN/psql" after the shp2pgsql command.
 That did away with the aborted transactions from postgresql.
