failed runcheck

First a core dump which can be relieved by:

+ if (relname && relname[0] && relname[1] && relname[2])
return (relname[0] == 'p' &&
relname[1] == 'g' &&
relname[2] == '_');

(symptoms at the end of message)

But now the bit I don't see how to solve: the regression postmaster doesn't
startup because it can't find tmp_check/data/base/1/1259. The only files I
see are 1/{1255,PG_VERSION}. Where does 1259 come from?

Cheers,

Patrick
