Did that work?  Commit 7f580aa should make this unnecessary for v12+
contrib/amcheck tests, but older branches still need a fix, and 017_shm.pl
needs a fix in all branches.  A backup plan is just to skip affected tests on
dragonfly 6+.  Since the breakage has been limited to so few tests, I'm
optimistic that a better workaround will present itself.
