I just came across some documentation claiming that it's possible to do similar exported-symbol filtering in Linux: http://people.redhat.com/%7edrepper/dsohowto.pdf I'm going to see if I can make that work along the same lines as my Darwin patch. If we can get it going on both Linux and Darwin then I think we'll have critical mass to make the change. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
