Hi Tom.

Thanks for the quick response. In the function that I execute in each
thread, I create a new PGconn at the beginning. I expect that every
function caller (thread) should use a unique PGconn. I would not expect
that PGconn can be shared between threads. The documentation explicitly
says that.
