I just committed my patch before reading this comment. Maybe it was
rushed.
On the other hand, my thinking was that the submitter used the serial
schedule to test, so he wouldn't catch the problem because the timestamp
test comes before the timestamptz test and so there's no race condition
there. My conclusion would be that he intended to use the timestamp_tbl
table because that's what he did and it worked for him.
However, he did change one test from using the timestamptz_tbl into
using timestamp_tbl (and changed the to_char format in the process); I
fixed that by putting the new format in the timestamp test, and
restoring the original in timestamptz.
Lesson for today would be to make sure to run both the serial and the
parallel tests, several times, and that they both pass ...
