No, it's not fixed. I think the owner of the freebsd buildfarm machine masked the problem by building an unthreaded libpython. The only fix that so far looks like it would work is to build the backend with threading (CPPFLAGS += -D_THREAD_SAFE and LIBS += -pthread, IIUC). This seems sufficiently invasive that I'm quite loath to do it. Does anyone have a handle on the likely performance and stability costs of doing this on BSDen? The alternative is to say that plpython isn't supported on BSDen unless you choose to build an unthreaded libpython. Unpleasant as that may be, I do not care for the proposition that plpython gets to dictate our choice of libc. Whatever costs are incurred by that will be paid by people who are not even using plpython, and that's not the direction I want to see the pain flowing in. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
