[jnasby@pervasive.com: [BUGS] Race condition in dropdb;createdb]

Never got a reply on -bugs... do people think this is an issue?

CREATE DATABASE
decibel(at)phonebook(dot)1[17:32]~:2%dropdb test; createdb test;
DROP DATABASE
createdb: database creation failed: ERROR: source database "template1"
is being accessed by other users
decibel(at)phonebook(dot)1[17:32]~:3%

I realize that the changes made in 8.1 WRT using the postgres database
fix this particular case, but is there a bigger issue with there being a
race condition here? Presumably dropdb returns before the connection is
actually closed from the database's standpoint...
