Now, if you'll look very carefully the create_funtion_1 failure is due to the difference between the expected output:
Can't find function nosuchsymbol and the generated output:
could not find function "nosuchsymbol"
This is not a problem, since it's just a different wording. The test is checking to make sure that it can reliably fail an attempt to create a nonexistent funtion. Minor differences in error message wording often causes the regression test suite to trip up on trivial things, like this one.
my later message drops the error count to one, too.
btw, i never claimed that "random" failures were an issue; it was never one of the six i mentioned.
as far as the string difference issue causing the create_function_1 failure, that's good news--it's the only one i couldn't figure out.
create_function_1 does not fail when 8b3 is built from source so i think the pg crew has somehow corrected the error.
and i am sorry for not reading the share docs. all i read was the README in the regress directory and a few notes i found on the web.
thank you, John
