Hi all, Andres pointed out that one of my new OAuth tests has flaked on NetBSD [1]. The final line of debugging output is missing from the stderr coming from psql. I haven't ruled out a bug in my implementation, but I also remembered that there was some discussion on the list about stderr being lost by IPC::Run in rare circumstances [2], and that particular bug has since been fixed [3]. Is it possible to (safely) switch the CI images to use the most recent IPC::Run, so we can make use of Noah's fixes? NetBSD is currently running 20231003.0.
