But sadly we're kinda back where we started. fairywren is failing on 
REL_16_STABLE. Before the changes the failure occurred because the test 
script was unable to create the file with a path > 255. Now that we have 
a way to create the file the test for pg_basebackup to reject files with 
names > 100 fails, I presume because the server can't actually see the 
file. At this stage I'm thinking the best thing would be to skip the 
test altogether on windows if the path is longer than 255.


cheers
