Certainly, but the buildfarm's "installed" test doesn't try to start on
5432.  It starts on whatever branch_port the buildfarm owner has
specified for that animal and that branch.  It's the owner's
responsibility to make that nonconflicting across the services and
buildfarm critters he has running on a given machine.  What I'm saying
is that *in the buildfarm* we want the "make check" case to also use
this predetermined safe port number.  That has nothing whatever to do
with what is good practice for other cases.
