Yep; I took advantage of Kevin's test harness for some unrelated tests.
These sporadic failures happen whenever the test case takes longer than
deadlock_timeout (currently 100ms for these tests) to setup the deadlock. I
outlined some mitigating strategies here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/20110727171438.GE18910@tornado.leadboat.com
I'd vote for #1: let's double the deadlock_timeout until the failures stop.
Other opinions?
Thanks,
nm
