Somehow i could not find the original postings anymore (they where there 3
weeks ago),
but thanks to google's cache:
http://www.google.nl/search?q=cache:CXMBRFwDZUwC:postgresql.linux.cz/mhonarc
/pgsql-ports/2001-03/msg00128.html+&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8

This is just some part of the discussion however.

Of course i was referring to make check, not test (Ahum..),
But this is not a backlog problem.
Its seems to me to be a fork() to windows mapping problem. The
WaitForObject() winAPI call is limited to 63. So postgreSQL really seems
limited to 63 backends on cygwin. :(
I'm trying to get 200 concurrent users to work.
