I would perhaps add an extra note that we emulate the result in the
best way we can.  Anyway, what you have here looks basically enough.

Another thing that has been itching me on this thread is that we have
not been able to detect this problem even if we have tests in
copyselect.sql that cover those paths.  Is that because running
vcregress.pl implies a redirection of stdout so we would never see,
except from a terminal?
