Fix typmod interpretation for bit types. (It was erroneously assumed that

for bit(x), the typmod stores x+4, like for the character types.)

+    <literal>template1</literal>) as a superuser in

+<programlisting>
+DROP SCHEMA information_schema CASCADE;
+\i /usr/local/pgsql/share/information_schema.sql
+</programlisting>
