Sure, sorry for the mistake.

Thanks for the patch and the investigation, this visibly points out to the fact that 11003eb5 did not get it completely right either. I am adding Robert in CC for some input on the matter. To me, this looks like a bug that should be applied down to v10. I think that it would be better to spawn a new thread as well to raise awareness on the matter. This is quite different than the patch you are presenting here. What do you think? I have redone my set of previous tests and can confirm that PQhost is behaving as I would expect it should, and those results are the same as yours. With your patch, please note also that the SSL test suite does not complain, which is an excellent thing! -- Michael
