Could you go into src/test/regress/pg_regress.sh and edit around line 162

#case $host_platform in
#    *-*-qnx* | *beos*)
        unix_sockets=no;;
#    *)
#        unix_sockets=yes;;
#esac

(i.e., ensure that unix_sockets is set to 'no'), and rerun 'make check'.

I have experienced before that Unix sockets will cause random connection
abortions on Solaris, which will cause the regression tests to fail
arbitrarily.

This is normal.  The regression tests sometimes involve intentional
invalid input.
