> Didn't we run into problems with this before? Hm, yeah, thanks for reminding me to check the archives. We tried to do exactly this three years ago, and it crashed and burned. See http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-10/msg01364.php The followup discussion to that was along the lines of "it's too late for 8.1, but we should try it for 8.2". Seems to have slipped through the cracks though. I've been testing a new patch and do not see the problem on Fedora 8, so at least that platform's readline seems to be fixed. I find the hack Martijn proposes in the above message to be pretty ugly, so what I'm inclined to do is leave that out for now and see what failures we get. The availability of the buildfarm makes experimenting with this kind of thing a lot safer ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
