Collegues,
I've encountered following problem on some old Sparc64 machine running
solaris 10:
When I compile postgresql 12 with --enable-tap-tests and run make check
in src/bin, test src/bin/pg_basebackup/t/010_pg_basebackup.pl
hangs and hangs infinitely.
I've tried to attach gdb to the hanging process, but it attempt to
do backtrace in it, gdb reports that stack is corrupt
Attaching to program `/home/vitus/postgrespro/src/bin/pg_basebackup/pg_basebackup', process 1467
[New process 1467]

Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
When afterword I kill hanged process with
kill -SEGV to get core, I get following stack trace from core file:
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This happens on random tests in this test file with probablity about
1/10, but because there is more than 100 tests, hanging has 100%
probablity. But other two test files in src/bin/pg_basebackup directory
don't hang.
As far as I can notice, there is only two machines with Solaris in
pgbuildfarm now, and neither of them has any records of running
REL_12_STABLE branch. (not to mention that both don't run tap tests).
