Thanks, I just built the postgresql-18 again with this patch (and
openssl not installed [*]). It passes fine now.

In the meantime, I also got the report that postgresql-17 is not
failing in that environment, so the problem is new in 18.

Ah, I was mentioning that in the original report because it only
showed up in the failing log, but that's just because the non-failing
build does not go scraping the test log files. That made the problem
look bigger than it actually was.

Thanks,
Christoph

[*] future builds will have openssl as build-dependency.
