./configure --without-readline
Everything compiled fine, and all tests passed on "make check".
However, when I looked at my server this morning, one of the four
postmaster process was taking all CPU on one of my core (no db was
created, the postmaster should have been totally idle)
load averages: 0.09, 0.10,
0.09

I tried to stop postgress using: 'su - postgres -c "pg_ctl stop -swm fast"'
but that function never returns. Even kill -9 couldn't stop the process.
This looks like a Solaris bug firstly, but I thought I'd mention it.
