Re: Multi-threaded user app segfaults when using libpq with separate connections

I've conveyed the message, thanks.

I've retried this with a cvs-version of this afternoon (local time). The build
stranded in plpgsql (I seem to need a more recent bison), but at that point
libpq was already finished. This still resulted in more or less the same kind
of errors. I then retried with a cvs-version of 21:30 (utc), configured with
enable-thread-safety and compiled with debug info / without optimization,
along with a fresh compilation of Qt.

Results : same diff (see errors below).


What more can I do to help out / find out what the problem is ?




Best,
