Kind of. The indicators are set in the Main functions after InitPostmasterChild and some other setup.

It kind of seemed like it, but I noticed the small differences in requirements, which made me a bit hesitant. I'll go ahead and see what I can do and submit the patch for consideration. -- Mike Palmiotto Software Engineer Crunchy Data Solutions https://crunchydata.com
