I took this patch for a quick spin on macOS. The result was that the
test suite hangs in the test src/test/recovery/t/017_shm.pl. I didn't
see any mentions of this anywhere in the thread, but that test is newer
than the beginning of this thread. Can anyone confirm or deny this
issue? Is it specific to macOS perhaps?
