The workers were failing at startup, eg (from [1]): +ERROR: role "regress_psql_user" does not exist +CONTEXT: while setting parameter "session_authorization" to "regress_psql_user" Maybe this says that worker startup needs to install the snapshot before doing any catalog accesses? Anyway, I'd be happy to revert this test hack if you care to make the case work. regards, tom lane
