No. This is post-fork (and had better remain so). The change causes the sub-postmaster that has just finished handling a cancel request to exit with nonzero status, which the postmaster then interprets (correctly) as a child process crash. BTW, how are we going to do cancels in Windows-land? The sub-postmaster isn't gonna have access to the postmaster's list of child PIDs and cancel keys ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
