I don't understand the regression of the dashes in armor test,
kinda seems you have different psql than in CVS.

But for the regression with 'random = dev', I'd say you did not
do 'make clean' after changing Makefile. It only changes flags
to random.c, so if you have existing random.o, it wont be
recompiled.

Look for the 'pgp_encrypt v3' mail I sent. There I use special
empty tests for disabled functionality, that succeed, but
hopefully show user through naming that the functionality
is missing.
