I've noticed a few buildfarm failures similar to [1]:

not ok 11    - plpgsql_trap                              502 ms

which is coming from unexpected behavior of this bit of plpgsql
code:

  begin
    -- we assume this will take longer than 1 second:
    select count(*) into x from generate_series(1, 1_000_000_000_000);
  exception
    when others then
      raise notice 'caught others?';
    when query_canceled then
      raise notice 'nyeah nyeah, can''t stop me';
  end;

The light bulb went on when I noticed a nearby failure from the same
machine that was clearly traceable to out-of-disk-space.  What
happened here, I have no doubt, was that the "from generate_series"
bit tried to make a large temporary file, ran out of space, and threw
an appropriate error, causing us to take the "wrong" exception
handler.

Proposal:

1. Replace that query with something not so resource-intensive.
I'm not really sure why we didn't just use "perform pg_sleep(10)".
Maybe it didn't exist or didn't reliably wait 10 seconds at the
time, but it does now.

2. Adjust the "when others" handler to report the actual error,
to make this sort of thing easier to debug next time.
