There have been issues with carriage-returns in PL/pgSQL. If you
cut'n'pasted that from the HTML into some file or directly into a psql
prompt, you likely got bitten by that.

Try to put the content into a file and make sure that is only has
linefeeds.

    vi
    <cut'n'paste>
    :set notextmode
    :wr filename
    :q
    psql dbname <filename
