The ordering failures seem to be because the recent planner hacking has taken us back to preferring merge joins for these tests, and Windows' version of qsort has bizarre behavior for equal keys.
I put an ORDER BY in the rules test. For join, I'm inclined to think
that the best bet is to resurrect the join_1.out variant comparison
file that we had awhile ago. Unfortunately, what's in the CVS archives
is out of date and can't be used directly. Could you send me the actual
rules.out you get on Windows to use for a comparison file?
join.out sent off list
Dunno about the stats failure. It looks like the stats collector just
isn't working on Cygwin, but AFAIR no one has touched that code lately.
It's worked before, that's the strange thing. I'll check some more.
Do these machines fail on HEAD too? (There don't seem to be any active Windows buildfarm machines for HEAD, which is surely ungood. Won't someone step up and put one into the regular rotation?)
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof (appropriate quotation for Good friday). I will address HEAD in due course.
The buildfarm members for both of these are in reality my laptop, which doesn't even run Windows all the time, and has lots of other duties anyway. We (or rather Josh Berkus and Bruce, at my request) are looking for a replacement.
cheers
