Unstable number of workers in select_parallel test on spurfowl - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

                 ->  Append
                       ->  Parallel Seq Scan on a_star

This is the query like this:

-- Disable Parallel Append
alter table a_star reset (parallel_workers);
alter table b_star reset (parallel_workers);
alter table c_star reset (parallel_workers);
alter table d_star reset (parallel_workers);
alter table e_star reset (parallel_workers);
alter table f_star reset (parallel_workers);
set enable_parallel_append to off;
explain (costs off)
  select round(avg(aa)), sum(aa) from a_star;

I don't see why...
