I confirmed this against the 8.2.5 release. Sorry I did not notice that when I initially created the patch. While the patch will not work for the earlier releases, it should be noted that the multithhreading problem still exists when linking postgresql against TCL 8.2 and 8.3 libraries that are compiled with the preprocessor symbol TCL_THREADS defined. Unfortunately, we cannot override the initNotifier behavior in those releases, so we don't have a workable solution. This is probably not a big problem, since TCL was not commonly compiled with multithreading enabled prior to 8.4. However, perhaps there should be a warning in the documentation on PL/TCL directing users to avoid linking postgresql against TCL libraries earlier than 8.4 that have multithreading enabled?
