We could have gotten a false positive from the old coding, too. The event was certainly not any more tightly tied to the presence of an unserviced signal flag than UNBLOCKED_SIGNAL_QUEUE, and arguably less so. I think this concern is irrelevant anyway. Returning EINTR from select() is OK even if no signal was actually serviced, so long as it doesn't recur indefinitely. EINTR just means "I didn't do the select(), try again". regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
