I did not understand at first what you meant, but after looking at the
commit message of the patch things are clear:
Newer Perl or IPC::Run versions default to appending the filename to string
exceptions, e.g. the exception psql timed outis thrown as psql timed out at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/IPC/Run.pm
line2961.
And that's good to know, I can see as well that the patch is on the CF app:
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/13/
And that it has been marked as ready for committer.
