The log traces (log_connections=true, log_disconnections=true, 
log_statement='all') show that if I run without limiting 
max_connections, the next tests start up before the copy is finished - 
no wonder things get right royally screwed as a result.
It seems like the problem is in the Msys shell. It appears not to wait 
correctly for a job to finish (Single tests are run in the foreground by 
the shell, so no explicit 'wait' is run - I tried putting one in with no 
effect). It's probably triggered by the copy test because it takes such 
a long time. I have no idea why the parallelism of the tests should 
affect it.
trying to find a workaround.
Does anyone have any contacts with the MINGW/MSys people?
cheers
