lorikeet (cygwin) has been failing for 9 days now on HEAD, while the
first failure happened here:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=lorikeet&dt=2022-08-24%2000%3A11%3A00

This means that we have a problem for commits in the range of
c981879814~1..869e56a3.  And in this range, it seems to me that this
commit is the primary suspect.  Could you look at that?

Thanks,
