Digging in the archives where the commit points, I find https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20181126025125.GH1776%40paquier.xyz which says there was an unexpected result on my animal longfin. I tried the same thing (i.e., re-enable bloom's TAP test) on my laptop just now, and it passed fine. The laptop is not exactly the same as longfin was in 2018, but it ought to be close enough. Not sure what to make of that --- maybe the failure is only intermittent, or else we fixed the underlying issue since then. I'm a little inclined to re-enable the test without your other changes, just to see what happens. regards, tom lane
