Yeah, you know, I had fully intended to go grepping through the output
last night to check for things like that, but my wife decided I needed
sleep instead. :) Sorry about that. Still, it's more of a general
proposal than something I think should be committed as-is. Should we
try to deal with those kinds of differences, or just eliminate the tests
which are dependent on username, etc? It definitely strikes me that
there's a fair bit of code in psql we're not exercising in some fashion
in the regression suite... :/
Thanks,
