I think you should drop the overly-cute bit with a SIGALRM handler,

This could perhaps be done with a PostgresNode::interactive_psql
session?
Yeah, we do have that infrastructure available in the
010_tab_completion.pl test.
In order to satisfy my own curiosity I decided to take a stab at this which
turned into the attached. I wasn’t able to reliably know that the pg_sleep
query had started except letting the timer expire, but that may very well be
the rust on my Perl skills showing.
Thanks for looking into this. With your patch applied, tests 2, 3, and
4 fail. Do they pass for you?
