Interesting... Which version of libpq were you working against? I see
that Vesa-Matti had the problem happen w/ 9.1.9, which should have been
before the changes that I made to add locking around our usage of
SSL_context, as otherwise we would end up in situations where we'd dump
core, but he also had it with 9.3rc1, which should have included it. I
had tested the patch w/ a pretty good amount of concurrent threads fired
off from a little python script and didn't run into any deadlocks
there..
Vesa-Matti, was this working previously, and are you sure you were
testing with 9.3rc1's libpq? Heikki, which are you testing against and
perhaps you might try before and after? I'll be able to look into it
more in a few hours also.
Thanks,
Stephen
