Yes, and that is the complex part because _some_ non-*_r functions are thread-safe, and some are not. I have to determine if we have other such platforms before I figure out how to fix it in the cleanest way. In most platforms that are like this, I think, they have all the *_r functions even if all of them are not required. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
