The strange thing is hanging. Broken tests depending on locale are usual. But I didn't remember hanging.

So, if you do psql -c "..."

with both of those \watch  instructions, do either one hang? (I am now guessing "no")

I know that perl is using a special library to "remote control psql" (like a pseudo terminal, I guess).

[I had to abort some of the perl testing in Windows because that perl library didn't work with my psql in Windows]

Next, can you detect which process is hanging? (is it perl, the library, psql, ?).

It hangs in perl

but now I found there is dependency on PSQL_PAGER setting

it started pager in background, I had lot of zombie pspg processes

Unfortunately, when I unset this variable, the test hangs still

here is backtrace

It is waiting on reading from pipe probably

psql is living too, and it is waiting too

I am not sure, it is still doesn't work but probably there are some dependencies on my setting

PSQL_PAGER and PSQL_WATCH_PAGER

so this tests fails due my setting

[pavel@localhost postgresql.master]$ set |grep PSQL
PSQL_PAGER='pspg -X'
PSQL_WATCH_PAGER='pspg -X --stream'
