Failure with pgbench and --disable-thread-safety in ~v16

Hi all,
(Alvaro in CC.)

While running some tests for 8984480b545d, I have noticed that the TAP
tests of pgbench fail when ~16 is compiled with
--disable-thread-safety:
[16:51:10.467](0.004s) not ok 227 - working \startpipeline with serializable status (got 1 vs expected 0)
[16:51:10.467](0.000s)
[16:51:10.467](0.000s) #   Failed test 'working \startpipeline with serializable status (got 1 vs expected 0)'
#   at t/001_pgbench_with_server.pl line 845.
[16:51:10.467](0.000s) not ok 228 - working \startpipeline with serializable stdout /(?^:type:
.*/001_pgbench_pipeline_serializable)/

This ./configure switch has been removed in 17~, and, while I've not
analyzed the problem in details, I am wondering if this points to an
actual bug with \startpipeline in all branches.

Thanks,
