Yes, I agree that would be better.  Perhaps we can look for the
presence of freehostent..

Are you really sure you're using 2.5.5rc1?  It's just that I'm pretty
sure that message no longer comes out in that format.

If you updated your build directory from a previous version, you might
need to do "make clean" first.  If you're doing "make installcheck"
you need to do "make install" first.  (See v1.141 vs 1.148 of main.c)

If the error still occurs, could you please set a debug breakpoint in
do_mkdir and see what's happening?

The three tests that fail depend upon debug hooks that were added
after 2.3 was released, so they should be expected to fail with 2.3.1.
