I should have read your bug report more closely.

It's just an incorrect status report.  As I was working on a  
development box, test PostgreSQL server, the accounts had no  
password.  Once I assigned a password, I was able to select databases  
besides the one named the same as the username.

However, I can verify that your bug report was 100% dead on what I am  
experiencing.   This is on an intel iMac, OS X 10.5.2, and RealBasic  
2008 R1.

Regards,
Robert
