I understand that this isn't great, and it's certainly something I'm looking into. But it's like pg_regress saying that psql crashed and leaving you to find out why. I don't think saying that the entire regression test suite is useless because of that is fair. The TAP tests are arguably already much easier to debug than pg_regress ever was. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
