I think you're confusing James Mansion with me (Craig James). I'm the one with the unresolved problem.
James is suggesting, completely independently of whether or not there's a bug in my system, that a thread-friendly option for Postgres would be very useful.
Don't confuse thread-friendly with a threaded implemetation of Postgres itself. These are two separate questions. Thread-friendly involves compile/link options that don't affect the Postgres source code at all.
