This patch is failing on "drongo" [1].  It looks like the problem
is that the pg_hba.conf file being used doesn't allow for TCP
loopback connections.

To make that safe, the test would have to be changed to not run by
default.  We could gate it with a PG_TEST_EXTRA check ... but the
end result would likely be that it gets run by just about nobody.
I wonder whether it's worth the trouble.
