Hmm, yeah, I see that too.

This patch seems like a band-aid, though.  The reason nobody's
noticed this for decades is that it doesn't make a lot of sense
to allow tests to run in your default database: the odds of them
screwing up something valuable are high, and the odds that they'll
fail if started in a nonempty database are even higher.

I think the right answer is to treat it as an error if we end up
with an empty dblist (or even a zero-length name).
