-A lot of users have reported that the parallel regression test suite
-causes a varying, unpredictable set of tests to fail, usually tests in
-the second half of the run.  The failure is usually a failure to
-connect to the server at all, or an abrupt loss of the connection.
-Invariably, these problems go away when the regression test suite is
-changed to use TCP/IP sockets instead of Unix domain sockets.  (Change
-line 163 of src/test/regress/pg_regress to match *solaris*; yes, there
-should be an easier way to do this.)  Since a number of users do not
-seem to have any problems with this at all, we do not claim that "Unix
-domain sockets are broken on Solaris", but feel free to draw your own
-conclusions, or better yet, share your insights with the rest of us.
