So, why isn't *every* buildfarm member failing ecpg right now?

AFAICS, Peter's recent incomplete updating of error message wording
should have broken every last man jack of 'em. And yet there's still
some green to be seen. I think we are looking at problems in the ecpg
test scaffolding. For instance, dragonfly claims a green build, but
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=dragonfly&dt=2007-06-04%20043001&stg=ecpg-check
shows this interesting trace:

============== running regression test queries ==============

make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/pgfarm/gcc/HEAD/pgsql.28740/src/interfaces/ecpg/test'

which says that (a) we have a scripting bug, and (b) some other layer is
failing to notice the failure. Which is two separate bugs by my count.
