Me too.  For example, a copy of those logs :-)

Unfortunately debugging test failures is a pain that I don't have a
good answer too.

One thing I do is edit regress/test-exec.sh to add a "set -x" at the
top and "exit 1" into the fail() function.  Now when you run the test
at the point it fails you'll have the exact command that failed and
exits without cleaning up, leaving the keys and configs in place so
you can rerun the command in you shell, playing around with
truss/strace/whatever your platform has.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
