Sorry, I forgot to mention that I specifically skipped those errors not
directly related to the problem at hand.  This problem is clearly
something else (as well as the Mac OS X failures due to readline
misconfiguration, the ECPG-check failures, etc).  I concur with Andrew's
suggestion that it's really pilot error.

Maybe what we really ought to do is pick an internal max_connections
value that exceeds what the max_connections GUC parameter say, adjusting
per autovacuum configuration.
