I recon i'll get blue in the face before long, and one of you guys
will fly over to Scotland to give me a good kicking!... But'll say it

That's not our concern - if the OS isn't thread safe we can't do
anything about it, and to worry about it is an enormous waste of
development time.

Who do you think is interested in a thread-safe libpq on a
non-thread-safe OS?
