013f320dc reminds me of something I check for religiously: look for alternative output files for any regression test you're updating the output of. Actually updating said files, once you notice you need to, can be tricky in itself. Most of the time it works to just apply the same patch to the other variants as the delta you're observing for the output file that's relevant to your own platform. Or you may be able to change configuration so as to replicate the correct output for another alternative file. But sometimes you just have to guess (and then watch the buildfarm to see if you guessed right). regards, tom lane
