gmake -C regress check failure

Maybe this is related to the thread [HACKERS] regression failure in CVS
HEAD

I've installed postgresql-7.3.2 on HP-UX yesterday.

When running 'gmake -C regress check'
the process does not return.

File ./src/test/regress/regression.out shows

parallel group (13 tests):  float8 int2 varchar text float4 int8 int4

See doc/FAQ_HPUX:

: The parallel regression test script (gmake check) is known to lock up
: when run under HP's Bourne shells: /usr/bin/sh and /sbin/sh.  This is a
: known defect JAGad84609, the fix for which is not yet in any released
: HP-UX version or shell patches.  To work around it, use ksh to run the
: regression script:
:     gmake SHELL=/bin/ksh check
: 
: If you see that the tests have stopped making progress and only a shell
: process is consuming CPU, kill the shell process and start over with the
: above command.

Thanks. 'gmake SHELL=/bin/ksh check' now reports  "All 89 tests passed."
