I don't think that moving fsm tests to brin would be a good approach.
We want to have a separate test for each access method. I think if we
want to do something to avoid portability issues, maybe we can do what
Masahiko San has just suggested. OTOH, I think we are just good w.r.t
this issue with the last patch I sent. I think unless we see some
problem here, we should put energy into having a reproducible test for
the fourth problem mentioned in my mail up thread [1]. Do you think
it makes sense to run make check in loop for multiple times or do you
have any idea how we can have a reproducible test?
