hm, I'm stumped. Are you sure nothing else is using the crypto
library? There is an unlikely but possible case that you initialized
crypto locks over somebody else.
*something* is happening here, but I have no idea what. I'm very
skeptical it's a locking issue in libpq itself, because there is so
little going on beyond counting the connections. Let me ask you this:
how much does your connection count range over time? would it be
possible to reserve a connection that stays open all the time and see
if the issue re-occurs? (a wild stab in the dark, but I'm curious of
ssl re-initialization is causing your problem if you always have at
least one connection open, it wont re-initialize).
