I attempted to discuss this here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2010-11/msg00464.php For a lack of a solution, the approach now is to run the regression test file manually, and we provide separate test files for as many platforms and encodings or whatever we want to support. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
