Why are we looking up 'kaltenbrunner.cc' at all then? In any case, can
we just try with that resolver line?

The question isn't whether is succeeds, it's how long it takes to
succeed. When I increased the pg_regress timeout it actually went
through the whole regression test happily. I suspect we have 2 things
eating up the 60s timeout here: loading the timezone db and resolving
whatever it is we are trying to resolve.
