Re: BUG #1167: POSIX getpwuid_r 4arg vs 5arg issue

Thanks.  I wish I had seen it earlier myself. I've been busy on other
projects and haven't been following the 7.4.X releases.  Doesn't hurt me
any, since I was able to just build without thread support, but I
thought it would be good for other to know about it.

Thanks again - for this, and all the work you guys have put into
PostgreSQL.
