AFAICS that was not what Jan was suggesting at all. I don't like it either --- changing the user-visible behavior based on whether we think the platform is thread-safe or not is horrid. What I understood Jan to be saying is that we should be willing to build the most thread-safe approximation we can when --enable-thread-safety is requested. Don't bomb out if you don't have getpwuid_r, just give a warning and then use getpwuid. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
