if you add

note "txid is $xid";

after

+chomp($xid);

does it report the xid?

Alternately, can you see a 'psql' process and a backend doing a SELECT
when it stops progressing?

I'm wondering if this is a perl version/platform issue around
   $tx->pump until $stdout =~ /[[:digit:]]+[\r\n]$/;

where we're not recognising the required output from psql when we get it.

What's in src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/regress_log_011* ?

I couldn't use PostgresNode::psql or PostgresNode::safe_psql here
because the session must stay open.
