Hmm. I didn't have time to look it over :( In general, killing server processes from task manager in windows is less likely to be a popular thing than using kill on unix (and it still surprises me how many people that consider themselves experts still do "kill -9" by defualt whenever they want to stop something..) Given that it actually doesn't notice it if we do, we might have people doing this that don't know about it. But I think we can at least keep it HEAD only for a while until it's seen some productoin level testing... //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
