culicidae is failing after this commit in an interesting way, so we
really needed some tests for this utility:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=culicidae&br=HEAD
ok 7 - fails with corrupted data status (got 1 vs expected 1)
not ok 8 - fails with corrupted data stdout /(?^:Bad checksums:.*1)/
# Failed test 'fails with corrupted data stdout /(?^:Bad checksums:.*1)/'
# at t/002_actions.pl line 57.
# ''
# doesn't match '(?^:Bad checksums:.*1)'
not ok 9 - fails with corrupted data stderr /(?^:checksum verification failed)/
So the checksum failure is happening, but the output is not present.
What's not clear to me is that all the other hosts running Debian SID
don't complain, and that the follow-up test on a single relfilenode is
able to pass with a test much similar to the previous one. Is the issue
that we should just call fflush() on stderr and stdout at the end of
main() in pg_verify_checksum.c? Shouldn't we back-patch that?
