Hm. I wonder if we can avoid the sleep 2 by doing something like
->pump(); ->finish(); instead of one pump_nb()? One pump() is needed to
send the \q to psql, and then we need to wait for the process to finish?
I'll try that, but given that I can't reproduce any problems...

I suspect that at least the crash recovery test suffers from exactly the
same problem and that we can re-enable it on windows after doign an
equivalent change...

Greetings,
