Yes, quite so. The tiny change has gone into buildfarm's CVS.
Alvaro does have a point, though - there are many things we don't test
that possibly we should - including locale and encoding differences. A
better testing regime for the PLs is another thing that springs to mind.
Also, currently buildfarm just runs postgres' own test suites. I'm not
averse to supporting a more extensive test suite just for farm members,
if people think that's a good idea.
just some blue sky ideas
