Maybe we should pass -a to diff so that it displays the difference even
if it thinks the file is binary.

Unfortunately not portable:

$ /usr/bin/diff -a foo bar
/usr/bin/diff: illegal option -- a
        usage: diff [ -C n ] [ -S name ] [ -bcefhilnrstw ] dir1 dir2
                diff [-C n ] [ -bcefhintw ] file1 file2
                diff [ -D string ] [ -biw ] file1 file2

Perhaps Stefan can run the test manually and get us a readable diff.

well what we are looking at here are actually two issues - one is the regression failure - diff -a produces:

the other problem is that each of those failures leaves spoonbill with a running postgresql instance that causes a follow up failure with the next buildfarm run because there is not enough shared memory left for another instance ...




Why should it leave a running postgresql instance?
