That is what happened.  We should test the exit status to decide whether to
keep temporaries, as attached.  PostgresNode does that, since commit 90627cf
(thread https://postgr.es/m/flat/6205.1492883490%40sss.pgh.pa.us).  That
thread already discussed $SUBJECT[1] and the __DIE__ handler being
redundant[2].  I plan to back-patch, since it's most useful for v10 and v9.6.
