What I have it doing is reporting the exit status if not zero, but it's
only an annotation on the short-form output; it doesn't control whether
the test is considered to have succeeded or not.  I'm not very happy
with that because a crash after all the expected output has been
produced would not result in a report of failure --- and we have seen
problems with psql crashing at exit, so this isn't an academic point.
