Hi,

I wrote a program using pgsql's ESQL/C. Occasionally it blocks forever on a system call futex(), and I'm wondering if pgsql's libraries use this futex call?? (because my code doesn't use it).

Because the problem only occurs occasionally I can't really trace it while it's running. But when I discover it's locked up, and then do a trace, I get the following:

  Process 19893 attached - interrupt to quit
  futex(0x238f20, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL

I'm using psql 8.0.3 on Linux FC4 (kernel 2.6.11-1).

Thankyou,
Rob Newton
