It seems that the failure rate decreased (I guess the patch rules out the
case with two servers choosing the same port), but I still got:

16/53 postgresql:ssl / ssl/001_ssltests_36         OK 15.25s   205 subtests passed
17/53 postgresql:ssl / ssl/001_ssltests_30         ERROR 3.17s   (exit status 255 or signal 127 SIGinvalid)

2024-06-05 19:40:37.395 UTC [414110] LOG:  starting PostgreSQL 17beta1 on x86_64-linux, compiled by gcc-13.2.1, 64-bit

2024-06-05 19:40:37.395 UTC [414110] HINT:  Is another postmaster already running on port 50072? If not, wait a few 
seconds and retry.

`grep '\b50072\b' -r testrun/` yields:
testrun/ssl/001_ssltests_34/log/001_ssltests_34_primary.log:2024-06-05 19:40:37.392 UTC [414111] [unknown] LOG:  
connection received: host=localhost port=50072
(a psql case)

That is, psql from the test instance 001_ssltests_34 opened a connection to
the test server with the client port 50072 and it made using the port by
the server from the test instance 001_ssltests_30 impossible.

Best regards.
