Hold on one second here. I thought this thread was discussing some local problem in the Win32 workaround for lack of signals? The postmaster's use of nominally unsafe stuff in signal handlers is not and never has been a problem, because there is only one place in the main loop where signals are unblocked, thus no possibility for something to interrupt something else. I don't like the idea of redesigning that code just because someone misunderstands it. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
