Hi everybody,

i don't know if it is important what i want to let
you know. However it took me a long time to figure
out what i was doing wrong. 

The problem was the following:

Inside of my dynamically loaded user functions i tried to write some 
standard UNIX-files, which were designed for non-postgres use. 

That didn't work. 
The final solution of this problem is, that during
execution of my user-defined function, these were owned by "postgres" and
not by "me". The effect was that the backend couldn't write to my 
homedirectory, which had the standard rights rwxr-xr-x (755).
So i changed the rights to 777 and all was OK. This is not very nice
because now everyone can access my directory, but that's another problem.

Bye Wolf
