If you look at this failure case
<https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=jacana&dt=2017-03-19%2000%3A00%3A18>
you see:
t/002_pg_dump.........1..4449 # Looks like your test died before it could output anything. dubious Test
returnedstatus 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) DIED. FAILED tests 1-4449 Failed 4449/4449 tests, 0.00% okay
That's really not helpful. We have no idea where things went wrong.
ISTM that the test setup and breakdown code, both in individual tests
and in PostgresNode.pm should be liberally sprinkled with diag() calls
to make it easier to narrow down errors..
Thoughts?
cheers
