With this "voluntary crash", the regression test output is now

      psql                         ... ok     (test process exited with 
exit code 2)      281 ms

Normally, I'd expect this during development if there was a crash 
somewhere, but showing this during a normal run now, and moreover still 
saying "ok", is quite weird and confusing.  Maybe this type of test 
should be done in the TAP framework instead.
