[...snip regression test outputs...]

i forgot to mention that i wasn't able to do the serial regression test
because it didn't find the right socket file in /tmp. however the parallel
test worked (with failed tests). i did run psql to verify that it can talk
to the running postmaster. serial regression worked in 7.0.3 though.
