I didn't get that far ;)
I think we should try whether the problem disappears if tcp connections
are used. That ought to be much more heavily used in the real
world. Thus less likely to be buggy.
While It's not documented as such, passing --host=localhost to
pg_regress seems to have the desired effect. Dave, could you make your
animal specify that?
