I have no idea why. It was probably an oversight when the isolation 
tests were added. I guess something like this would fix it?

    diff --git a/GNUmakefile.in b/GNUmakefile.in
    index 50fae41..5976832 100644

The isolation tests only run installcheck, not plain check. See the 
archives for details of why.

OK, I'll look at providing links from the web site to the lists.
