I understand that this isn't great, and it's certainly something I'm
looking into.  But it's like pg_regress saying that psql crashed and
leaving you to find out why.  I don't think saying that the entire
regression test suite is useless because of that is fair.  The TAP tests
are arguably already much easier to debug than pg_regress ever was.
