FWIW, my much smaller automation turned green, building 274a2eebf80c
https://cirrus-ci.com/task/6357530606567424?logs=build_image#L3814
previously it failed to come back up after a reboot at that point.

And the first run of postgres' tests using that newly built image also passed,
so I'm reasonably confident that the issue is fixed, rather than made less
common.  Not that that is as likely to find problems as syscaller.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
