It does report:

All 13 tests passed.

I wonder if Solaris folks are thinking that is a success. I see you
found that my awk 'BEGIN ...' was the problem. I didn't realize awk
would do that. On BSD/OS using gawk, it is OK:

$ echo "1\n2" | while read FILE; do echo $FILE;awk 'BEGIN {print "a"}';
done
1
a
2
a

Anyway, pg_regress.sh should just be fixed. I added this code so I
didn't have to do gymnatics on echoing a backslash:

echo "SET autocommit TO 'on';"; awk 'BEGIN {printf "\\set ECHO all\n"}'; cat "$inputdir/sql/$name.sql") |

I didn't use this method in any of my other autocommit fixes. I did it
this way only so I could turn autocommit on without having it show up in
the regression output.
