I believe that works at the moment, although there were discussions just
yesterday about whether we really wanted to support it. (The point
being that the buildfarm script would have to be careful not to kill the
live postmaster when cleaning up after a test failure. I would
definitely advise that you not run the buildfarm under the same userid
as any live server, so that no accidental damage is possible.)

Keep in mind though that the buildfarm run tends to suck a lot of cycles
when it's going --- you might not like the response-time hit you'll
probably see on the live server, unless this is a nice beefy machine.

regards, tom lane
