It emerges that some Perl versions before 5.8.9 have a bug with regexps that use the /m flag and contain "$". This is the reason why jacana is still failing on HEAD, and I was able to duplicate the failure on prairiedog's host. There's no real need for "$" in these patterns, since they are already matching through the statement-terminating semicolons (or matching an explicit \n in some cases). So just remove it. Note: the reason jacana hasn't actually reported any failures in the last little while is that the way the pg_dump TAP tests are set up, any failure of this sort results in echoing the entire pg_dump dump output to stderr. Since there were about a hundred such failures, that resulted in a 30MB log file which choked the buildfarm upload script. There is room for improvement here :-(. Per off-list discussion with Andrew and Stephen.
