ecpg test runs out of disk space

Just had a rather disturbing event happen on platypus..

buildfarm(at)fritz(dot)1[3:07]~/buildfarm/HEAD/pgsql.39276/src/interfaces/ecpg/test/results:271>ll preproc-variable.*

The processes that were running (I'd already killed 39276 without thinking...):

preproc-variable.stdout contains the following line, over and over:

?, born 140737488349640, age = -5704, married (null), children = 4196007

Here's the interesting bits from .stderr:
