2. It's rather disturbing that a fairly large swath of functionality

rethink the shared_buffers increase?  Or artificially bloat the
regression database to make it larger than 128MB?  Or do something else
to ensure we still exercise the DB-bigger-than-buffers case?

A couple of other ideas:

The buildfarm does have the ability to set config data after initdb has run (which I just enhanced in the latest release). So a buildfarm owner could add a config line for shared_buffers which would override what initdb had set.

Or we could provide an initdb flag which would set an upper bound on shared_buffers, and have make check (at least) use it.

I'd rather not bloat the regression database if we can reasonably avoid it. Buildfarm members are often tight on space.
