Interesting,

I have been getting failures on REL_14_STABLE:

t/012_subtransactions.pl ............. 11/12
#   Failed test 'Rollback of PGPROC_MAX_CACHED_SUBXIDS+ prepared transaction on promoted standby'
#   at t/012_subtransactions.pl line 211.
#          got: '3'
#     expected: '0'
t/012_subtransactions.pl ............. 12/12 # Looks like you failed 1 test of 12.
t/012_subtransactions.pl ............. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/12 subtests

And the logs, tmp_check/log/regress_log_012_subtransactions, showing:

### Enabling streaming replication for node "primary"

This is quite consistent for me, but only when I configure with --enable-coverage and --enable-dtrace.  (I haven't yet
triedone of those without the other.) 

I wasn't going to report this yet, having not yet completely narrowed this down, but I wonder if anybody else is seeing
this?

I'll try again on master....
