Uh, this is a bug fix, and the patch I am asking about is not the Win32 semaphore reimplementation but a more limited fix. Here is the problem report: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2006-04/msg00101.php The test request: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2006-04/msg00251.php and the successful test run: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2006-05/msg00002.php We don't require bug fixes to go through beta testing. -- Bruce Momjian http://candle.pha.pa.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
