Yes, quite so. The tiny change has gone into buildfarm's CVS.

Alvaro does have a point, though - there are many things we don't test 
that possibly we should - including locale and encoding differences. A 
better testing regime for the PLs is another thing that springs to mind.

Also, currently buildfarm just runs postgres' own test suites. I'm not 
averse to supporting a more extensive test suite just for farm members, 
if people think that's a good idea.

just some blue sky ideas
