In the interest of clarity, I was not intending to say that there
should be a regression test in the patch. I was intending to say that
there should be a test case with the bug report. I'm not opposed to
adding a regression test, and I like the idea of attempting to do so
while requiring only a relatively small amount of data by changing
maintenance_work_mem, but that wasn't the target at which I was
aiming. Nevertheless, carry on.
