Fixed.

That's something I have addressed here:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAB7nPqTOP28Zxv_SXFo2axGJoesfvLLMO6syddAfV0DUvsFMDw@mail.gmail.com
I am including the fix as well here to do a group shot.

Right.

I don't directly see any limitation with the use of kill on Windows..
http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/kill.html
But indeed using directly pg_ctl kill seems like a better fit for the
PG infrastructure.

I am not sure that this is necessary. There is definitely a limitation
regarding the fact that log files of nodes get overwritten after each
test, hence I would tend with just appending the test name in front of
the node_* files similarly to the other files.

Yep, I marked this email as something to address when it was sent.

OK, the whole block is switched to INIT instead.

We would definitely want something within the ephemeral port range, so
we are up to that:
rand() * 16384 + 49152;

All those issues are addressed as per the patch attached.
