There is a long way between configure not finding a particular *_r function and the entire operating system not being thread-safe. There are many uncertainties along that way, and I believe my point was that the only way we can get a degree of certainty about the result of a particular build is that we keep a database of exactly what is required for thread-safety on each platform. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
