Hello Andrew,

I've noticed that prion fails with timeout rather frequently this week.
Probably this is caused just by increased total number and duration of
tests, as we can see timeouts at different stages:
[1]
# +++ tap install-check in src/test/modules/test_misc +++
t/001_constraint_validation.pl .. ok
t/002_tablespace.pl ............. ok
t/003_check_guc.pl .............. ok
t/004_io_direct.pl .............. ok
--- testing was interrupted ---

[2]
# +++ regress install-check in contrib/intarray +++
# using postmaster on /home/ec2-user/bf/root/tmp/buildfarm-D20LSW, port 5678
--- testing was interrupted ---

[3]
# +++ regress install-check in contrib/postgres_fdw +++
# using postmaster on /home/ec2-user/bf/root/tmp/buildfarm-eRpoH_, port 5678
--- testing was interrupted ---

Most of successful runs on master and REL_18_STABLE take around 2 hours,
but there is also [4], with:
snapshot taken 2025-07-01 21:36:23
and the last line of postmasterl.log at the last (ecpg) stage is:
2025-07-02 00:39:58.519 UTC [3557281:14] LOCATION:  UnlinkLockFiles, miscinit.c:1196
(More than 3 hours.)

and [5], with:
snapshot taken 2025-07-04 16:28:07
and the last line of postmasterl.log at the last (ecpg) stage is:
2025-07-04 20:13:51.355 UTC [2804973:14] LOCATION:  UnlinkLockFiles, miscinit.c:1196
(Almost 4 hours.)

So maybe it's time to increase timeout for that animal, say, to 6 hours...
What do you think?
